Hello
I installed Runcore SSD in my HTC Shift. Full name of SSD: Runcore Pro-IV Z18XX Series, RCP IV-Z1864-C, 1.8 "ZIF 5mm PATA. Firmware 1916 (latest version).
I can not install Win7 on SSD. When Windows starts copy data from CD to SSD, HDD LED from the laptop go off. At some times comes an error: could not be written on HDD, etc. ..
SSD is detected in BIOS. But you can adjust the HTC Shift only the time / date in BIOS. I can create and delete the partitions on SSD Win7 installation, etc. Format everything works. Once the copy process will start, rising from the SSD.
Win XP can be installed easily and runs well. I have already tested the following procedure:
1st SSD is connected via USB. All partitions deleted. Created new partition and formatted with NTFS. No improvement in Win7 Installation
2nd SSD is connected via USB. All partitions deleted and then started with naked SSD Win7 installation, created new partition. No improvement.
3rd Win XP installed and Win7 installed on XP. Installation was successful, until reboot. After the restart Win7 will quit when booting with a blue screen.
Has anyone a hint what can I test for?

If you confirm that Windows XP runs perfectly I would suspect that there is something wrong with your Windows 7 installation what dvd are you using? maybe a broken version or scratched dvd or else..
I can confirm my windows 7 Ultimate installation was running good before I switched definetively to XP with my Mtron 3018 SSD.
By the way Windows XP is absolutely fastest over any other Os on Shift.
I have two Win7 CD's and Vista CD. All do not work.
Aww how can it be XP working and Vista - Seven not?
Please try to connect your ssd externally and format as Ntfs with min cluster size (512) , or load a boot cd with some Filesystem programs and do the same.
Then see if something will change during Windows installation.
And does this was happening before firmware upgrade? maybe there is some drivers conflict in windows 7 (try to revert back).
You would inspect about the bluescreen error after WinXp->WinSeven

I have a USB DVD drive that the Shift Bios recognises and I can tell it to boot from it, but it just won't start the install process from an XP disk (I have two versions and neither work AT ALL although they have done on an old laptop in the past). I've also tried copying an iso image to a USB stick (which is also recognised) but nothing happens - Vista just starts up.
I've not read anything about anyone else having any problems installing XP itself, so what am I missing/ doing wrong?!
HELP! I'm so bored with Vista being so slow...
i intstalled the xp the first day i got my HTC SHIFT. i got no cd rom drive . so i try to clean install xp sp3 using ide external 30g hdd. well , it works!! the most important things is it must be a bootable drive. OK this is wat i do, i make the 30gb hdd bootable and put in the xp source inside the disk to make it direct install. follow this link to make ur hdd bootable http://wiki.eeeuser.com/windowsxpusb .
the whole process so fast that end up in 3 hours include all driver . bytheway...i do make a external partition first. i make around 25 GB .
Boot-menu
Hi,
If Vista starts, I guess the shift doesn't really boot from the dvd drive.
You'll have to make it boot from the external DVD drive in the boot-menu.
You can get to the boot-menu by pressing F10 (Fn+0) when the Shift is booting.
If you did this and it still doesn't work, I have no idea....
You might want to consider installing windows 7 beta. It is a lot faster then Vista.
I have both XP and 7 installed. I still can't really choose which is better......
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
Thanks for the advice. Still getting nowhere...
I followed the link hcping sent and set up a USB key as a bootable version of Windows XP but keep getting the same error message when I boot from it:
"Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart"
and hey ho Vista appears AGAIN. There are no other drives, disks or media connected... only a partitioned hard drive and the USB key.
It's SOO frustrating and Vista takes SO long to shut down each time it doesn't bother to install WinXP
Any other bright ideas? I'll have a dig around and see if I can find a spare HDD to try from that, but I think it'll have the same issues as the USB key.
On the bright side I did find out that I own 3 USB to mini-USB cables that only seem to be able to provide power to my HTC Diamond and fail to transfer any data. I didn't know that was possible!!! but it did go some way to explain why my external DVD write only works with certain cables....

try the bootable usb flash on other pc to test first.
then if success ,do try it on HTC SHIFT.
try press Fn+F10 to test the device whether it recognise or not.see for the choice.
if you c another device other than your hdd, then that means bios recognise the device. but if it direct go vista ..which means the device is not bootable .and you just have to make the device (usb flash, usb hdd , anything) bootable.
if all failed then....dunno......
if you got enuf gut to delete the whole partition ..i mean c drive. and install from usb hdd or others usb device.. can be a choice too.....but if failed...use the recovery from the hidden partition. take a chance ..since you cant do anything if the device wont boot up

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Aha! The Bootable USB key I made using USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd doesn't work... but I just made another TWO versions (one from a computing running XP and one from Vista) and the Vista one doesn't begin to work for some reason - the XP one file \WIN_NT$.~BT\biosinfo.inf "could not be loaded. Error code 18".
Am trying Windows7 instead now
I've been having trouble getting my nexus one to work as a mass storage device. I will mount sd and then it unmounts on its on. Tried on 32 bit system and it worked perfect. I can mount in recovery fine and i can use adb fine but not mass storage. I tried installing the drivers on here for 64 bit and it works for a little but if i restart my phone it starts unmounting and i have to reinstall drivers. i also tried installing pdanet and it works but same issue after restarting phone. any help would be appreciated
i've had no issues on win7 64bit mounting it, ive only done it once though, i prefer adb or i ftp files from pc to phone.
Using Win7 64bit here too....no probs...hmm..
Same here using Windows 7 64 bit no problems to report. I copied 3 gig music at one time to the SD and it worked fine.
I had the same problems.
The only way I could get it back to mounting again (and the not-mounting problem hasn't returned) was to:
1) Go into 'Devices and Printers'. (Start Button/'Devices and Printers'
2) Right Click on Nexus One and eject.
3) Disconnect usb cable and reconnect and then try to mount from N1 again...
I was thinking that the problem probably started because of my network mounts and then my usb hub on my monitor with all the card reader options as well. I think my drive letters got a little conflicted.
I had to fixed all that first in the Disk Management.
Hope that helps. I was really frustrated with not being able to mount the last couple of days.
Using Win7 64bit here and no issues. Mounted a few times to transfer music and pics.
i have no idea whats wrong. it works fine on my 32bit laptop. mass storage works in recovery. Its confusing
Manually seek and install driver?
I couldn't get it to work on windows 7 pro 64bit with administrator rights. With a user without admin rights, it worked fine!
I already tried manually installing and i have admin rights on windows 7 64 bit ultimate
there are 2 drivers you have to install from the androidsdk. device drivers and usb drivers. install through devmgmt.msc, browse to correct folders in android sdk to install.
You don't need the device drivers to use mass storage. You just need the usb drivers, which should have installed when you first plugged the phone in.
Have you got the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver installed on your pc?
I have the exact same issue with win 7 64bit home premium. No problem on winxp 32 at work. Also no problems with my ubuntu 64 bit set up. It also works fine in recovery mode.
a long time ago I called HTC about this, because it happened right after I got the phone in January and the official HTC response was, 64 bit os's are not supported!
I had the same issue. It all basically came down to not "safely removing" the storage before unplugging.
Did your computer flag the micro SD card as not safely removed and does it want to scan it for errors when you plug it in? This was happening to me. Apparantly Nexus was somehow choking on the attempt to "repair" and it simply unmounted the card. One day I took the card out of my Nexus, put it into a card reader and let Windows check it for errors. After that, I didn't experience any auto-unmounting anymore.
Actually I'm lying
Another problem was the underpowered USB hub which I use. If you use a hub, try connecting directly to your PC.
Ironically, since flashing back to stock rom (just fiddling around cos I was bored ) I've just had this issue of Win7 64bit not being able to recognise/access the sd card of my N1. Here's how I fixed it:
1. Plug phone into PC.
2. Turn on USB storage from dropdown menu on phone.
3. Go to Device Manager in Windows.
4. Find 'Android Phone' in Device Manager.
5. Right-click and choose 'Update Driver Software'.
6. Choose the 'Browse my computer for driver software' option.
7. Choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' option.
8. You'll now see 'Android ADB device' and 'USB Mass Storage Device'. Choose the latter and click next.
Windows should reinstall the mass storage driver and the sd card should mount in windows.
If you haven't installed Android SDK in the past then you'll not have an 'Android Phone' in device manager. In this case look in the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers and follow 5-8 above but right-clicking 'USB Mass Storage Device' instead.
Note: I'd done a format of my sd card before plugging in the phone so if the method doesn't work try that (assuming you've nothing on there that you want to keep).
^ that's what i was trying to say
Running Perception 10.4
XP SP2
Got the drivers installed, and I was able to browse my device on a friends lappy w/ the drivers.
I installed iSyncr to help a friends daughter learn how to use it. Now my XP won't mount the drive, it just says it's not there, or sits in autoplay forever. I un-installed isyncr from my PC and my phone. It mentions deleting autorun.inf autorun.inf but I can't find that on the drives. I deleted the .exe and the folder. But still my XP shows 3 drives instead of the normal 2. None of which I can browse.
I just want to use my phones memory for storage like I used too.
Found the autorun.inf on the external. But when I mount the drive it still sits in autoplay forever....
I uninstalled all the drivers, and re-installed the drivers. It just locks up explorer when I connect via USB. Perception is running Mass storage and USB Debugging.
I can view the storage via another Win7 computer, but this XP got f*cked. My system restore is disabled. I'm afraid this might mean it's time for a full redux of my system. Which it kinda needs anyways.
Any other suggestions though?
Often times you can get software to uninstall properly by downloading it again, installing it and then uninstalling it.
Dunno about the USB. The drivers shouldn't have changed. I use Samba over WiFi mostly so I don't use USB ever.
Hi.
Hoping somebody can help me with this. I have a perfectly working HP TouchPad with webOS on it (3.0.5) but since I updated to 3.0.5 it will not mount as a USB drive on Mac OS X or Windows. It will appear in disk utility but I get the message to "Initialise... " the disk as it is not recognised as a valid formatted drive.
(Note webOS runs fine on it)
When I try mounting it in Windows 7 the same thing happens - I can see it in Device Manager but not as a USB drive.
I tried formatting it as FAT32 from within Windows 7 but then when I boot into webOS it says that it has to reinstall apps. In this situation even the inbuilt email application disappears from within webOS.
It did work fine before and I could copy and paste files onto it in USB mode.
Anyone any ideas how to get it back working as a USB drive in both OS's?
Hello,
i bought a teclast X98 pro... But i think this issue could be the same on X98.
Under windows my SDcards are all fine...
In Android 5.1 i cant see my ext sdcard. I tried different SDcard sizes and partition formats ( fat, exfat)
i cant get it run... In the settings i see one SD card (disabled, means grey options)
Four USB-storages (disabled, means grey options)
I think this could be normal for all the windows partitions right ?
But how can i get my external SDcard to run ? For now i use Sandisk Ultra 16gb. Work fine in different phones and tablets and on the tablet i Windows 10.
I resetet the tablet to factory ... it didnt helped... But at the first startup i saw a message that the sd card was propably ejected out from the device... I didnt touch the device at startup...
Like i said before, in windows all works fine with a Sandisk 128 gb without problems...
I searched but didnt found anything...
Maybe anyone can help me with a good advice ?
thanks a lot for any help.

As I know, Teclast original 5.0 android rom has this problem. Coz I have read some topics like your problem at Teclast Chinese forum. Hope Teclast will upgrade the ROM later, otherwise try custom ROM?
sdcard problem on android teclast X98 pro?
hi
The solution to this problem is as follows
It is to be replacement -only- of bios K9C6 (not windows or android ROM) with the new version
that there think so easily in the corresponding page
Download new bios
MAKE A USB disc 8gb+ with rufus (iso ReactOS)
delete files on this disk and transferred files of new bios
Connect to a usb hub the disc and a keyboard usb (from desktop pc ok)
You not need connect mouse
and connect hub in tablet
follow the instructions of the document -instruction in English.docx-
for install new bios
with new bios everything is operating correctly and sdcard OK.
