I'm running CM7 on my NC. Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop. I cannot get my NC to show up under Computer Management->Devices as anything but B&N Ebook USB Disk (it shows two entries). When I uninstall these entries, disconnect the NC, reconnect the NC, my laptop will recognize the NC as the B&N Ebook USB Disk and I can't override or stop it from automatically installing it as such. I also don't seem to be able to "Upgrade Driver" for either the B&N Ebook USB Disk entry nor the USB Mass Storage Device. Windows reports that it's determined the best driver is installed.
What I've done:
-Installed the Android USB drivers.
-Tried uninstalling the USB Mass Storage Device entry for the NC.
-Tried rebooting both computer and NC and then reconnect.
Is there anyway to stop Windows 7 from automatically installing the driver? When it's doing this, there isn't a stop or cancel button in the dialog. Is there anyway to get my NC to be recognized as an Android Composite ADB Interface? My NC isn't showing up under any kind of Android Phone entry either (there isn't an entry for Android Phone either).
thanks for your help. I writing this from Helmand Province Afghanistan tonight.

My NC shows the 5GB internal space and the 2GB external SD.
When I plug the NC into my Windows 7 32-bit with the USB cable,
(1) Explorer does not show the two "drives",
(2) the Disk Management utility acknowledges the connection, but shows "no media" for the two drives, and
(3) suddently the NC shows 0GB for the internal memory and no SD card mounted...!
I've tried everything.
(a) erase and de-register the NC (back to factory),
(b) make sure the NC is not in sleep mode,
(c) reboot the NC and my computer several times,
(d) try 3 separate USB cables, including the charging cable,
(e) revert Windows 7 to a previous configuration... and so on.
I'm trying my trusted XDA forum for some advise before I go back to Barnes & Noble... probably to just return the darned thing...
The same thing happened here. Sometimes rebooting the nook helped. But sometimes it did not. I am wondering if my USB cable is bad...
I also had problem charging the device. The yellow light at the tip of the cable would glow, but it would not fast charge with the nookcolor adaptor.

I am having the same problem, but only since installing adb. I didn't bother with adb for the first few days but wanted to push a new Email.apk into /system/app and needed adb to do so.
I've also found that I need to uninstall the "Android Composite ADB Interface" under Android Phone in device manager in order for adb or Explorer to recognize it at all. When adb correctly recognizes my Nook, I can push files over using adb push, and I can ls using adb shell, but Explorer simply shows two removable disks (G: and H: ), which correspond to my /media and my SD card from before. I can't do anything with these removable disks though.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the bump, but just wondering if anyone has any help for this problem?
i think that it may be a bad cable. i took my nook to the local bn store and have cs agent tested my cable. it was bad. got a new cable and my nook now can charge and sideload.

does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can get my nook to show up in my list of devices attached?
It will not show up, so this missing link is what is stopping me from pushing market to my nook.

thanks for the suggestion i should have mentioned that i am running a MAC
I use a new macbook air running the most recent Mac OS for android software development and was frustrated at the start. Now it is like clockwork.
The first time seemed the toughest.
My initial configurations was froyo with usb set to debugging support.
Plugged it into my mac and didn't see the device with "adb devices".
Unplugged it and plugged it in again - still didn't see it.
I switched the nook from usb debugging to usb storage. The nook indicated that a usb cable was present and I could see the device in "finder" as a usb drive.
Switched the nook back to usb debugging and presto - there it was in adb devices!.
It will still disconnect from the mac after a period even without going to sleep. The solution is to unplug/plug it in again and it will show back in the devices list.
Thought I was going mad getting this to work but I've got this down to a quick process.

thanks for the idea because any idea is something to look into at this point.
problem with your suggestion though is that i am running honeycomb on my nook i do not have a way in the usb selections to toggle between usb debugging and usb storage.
Try adb wireless. Works well for me under linux mint.
i cant do that otherwise i would, i cant get to the point of putting market on my device to where i could even download the ADBwireless app. since i cant do that i have to go with the usb plug in. in other words im screwed
adb kill-server
adb devices
Run the above as Root (if possible) while your NC is plugged in.

Hi, I have a Nexus One with CyanogenMod 7.0.3 installed. My desktop computer is a Windows 7 computer with the Android SDK installed. My laptop is a Windows 7 computer without the SDK.
When I plug in the phone in the Laptop, and turn on USB storage on the phone, I see the phone contents. But on the Desktop I only see the phone under Device Manager.
I even uninstalled the SDK, but no change. I used both the original cable and other cable. Updated drivers. I'm at loss.
this happened to me too. A quick fix is to disable then enble the driver in device property. A permanent fix is to wipe and flash the phone again.
Hope that helps
You also may need to check and see what drive letter your device is connecting to. If your phone defaults to drive "G" and "G" was already being used by some other connected device, you will not see your phone. Check it under disk management.
This is kind of strange. I have a 32gb Touchpad and Win 7 32bit computer. Upon first use of the Touchpad, I followed the guide posted in the tweaks and tips section right away.
I updated to 3.0.2, turned off/down logging settings, installed Preware, installed all of the recommended patches, installed Uberkernal and Govnah, and OC'd to 1.5mhz.
I then went to load some media (songs, videos, ebooks etc.) onto the touchpad by connecting the usb cable to the Win 7 machine. The computer makes the found new hardware sound and the touchpad then asks if you want to put it into USB storage mode (which I did). The computer should then pop up with the window of the Touchpad drive and assign it a drive letter (just like any other usb mass storage device), but it doesn't. when I go into windows explorer, it shows a new drive letter has been added, but when I click on it to presumably see the contents of the Touchpad's drive, the computer does nothing. In fact, it even caused Windows Explorer to stop responding.
I almost positive this is a Novacom driver issue, but that doesn't make sence due to the fact that those drivers should (and were) loaded when installing Preware.
I am not sure how to resolve this. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Regards, Dcartes-
I'm have a similar drive issue but it consist of the touchpad (I think), not recognizing when I disconnect the drive via the computer. This always results in that error message stating that I didn't safely remove it after I physically unplug it.

I'm not sure on the OP's question but as for the quoted response you need to go into my computer and right click the touchpads drive letter and then choose eject..
simply unplugging or using "safely remove hardware"will result in the error you are seeing
And if I connect TP via USB and then disconnect it w/o PC "eject" thing, then next time PC wont recognized TP in USB mode. And I have to restart TP to make it "recognizable" again
I go through all the normal, safe, and necessary steps but no matter what the tp always stays connected. I've even went so far as to shut my computer down completely with my tp still connected and it still stays in disk drive mode.

I've had to same problem--finally tracked it down to the original usb cable. Touchpad would still charge but was not recognized by the computer. Changed to the cable that came with my Samsung phone and everything works like a charm.
Ouch message when ejecting

Thanks for the tip about the cable. I had the "Ouch That Hurt" message the other day after moving some pictures from my PC to the Touchpad and then ejecting the Touchpad. Ejection did not work. After the ejection process, the TP was no longer an option with either of the normal methods for ejection. So, my PC thought the TP had been ejected. But the TP did not think it had been. So, no option left but to turn off my PC or unplug the USB cable from the Touchpad to the PC.
However, I have noticed an issue with charging the Touchpad lately where I have to wiggle the cable where it connects to the Touchpad to get it to charge properly. Could be that this same flaky connection gave me a problem when trying to eject the TP after transferring the picture files? Though the pictures DID transfer properly. Will try a different cable next time. Hope I don't get a "wrong cable" message when doing that. Hate it when the TP does not eject properly as I fear I may be introducing file errors when that happens.

the only way to eject is from MyComputer > right click HPTP > eject.. or it will complain..not from the tray icon
ppl will bet that your prob is cable..
i went to national electronics store, they had phone section w/ many cables and phones plugged in..
i tried their cable to my HPTP and my cable to their phones...
cable was for sure bad.. they wanted 20$ for a 3' cable.. too much..
amzon wanted 4$ for set of 2 @ 10'..+ free s/h..
guess where i bought from..
My sons got two hd+'s for xmas and I'm in the process of attempting to connect through adb, which I have done many times with v various phones, yet when I plug the nook in I hear and see it connect and then immediately disconnect over and over again. Ideas?
It seems its only when I'm in usb debugging mode. Both are doing it.
I've rooted, installed GAPPS and so on many Nook HD+ tablets; most for my friends, since they have no idea how to do it. I've noticed this problem occurs due to the Nook not being installed correctly in ADB mode.
What I would recommend is going into Device Manager, find "Android Composite ADB Interface" and make sure it has a green-chip-like icon on the bottom left corner of the icon. If not, then it's not functional. To solve this, once your tablet is connected, it should be detected as a media player/portable device, with the name BNTV600 (I think it is/was - all this is still in Device Manager by the way). Right click on the device, and attempt to change the portable media player into a "USB Composite" device. That should solve the trick.
If you're still having problems, I can connect to you via TeamViewer remotely to access your computer, whilst your tablet is connected and solve the problem for you (if I can). If you'd like, I can completely root your tablet for you. I've done it for a couple of friends over TeamViewer, so if you'd like, I can do it for you too.
Best of luck.
P.S. Try disabling "USB Debugging" mode and set "Enable ADB".
