MASS STORAGE DRIVE

[mctrouble04]

Thanx to the contributors. its such a gud forum.

I have a sony pcg 252m - all in one pc. i have been trying to install the mass storage drive without success. the computer is picking up the drive but failing to install it. i have updated all the other drivers. what else do i need to do,, spending sleepless night trying to sort the pc.

Sometimes it just shuts down by itself. please help

You are quoting an invalid Vaio Model.  Open Vaio Control Center and look under the System Tab for the correct model.  I think you probably have a VGC-LA2 All-in-One.

The Mass Storage Device is probably the Memory Card Reader and the driver for this needs to be installed from within Device Manager.

1. Download the Original Drivers Package from here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=en_GB&m=VGC-LA2

2. Right-click on the downloaded .ZIP file and choose "Extract All".  Extract the drivers to somewhere you can find them like C:\Drivers

3. In Device Manager double-click on the uninstalled Mass Storage Device and choose 'Update Driver' under the Drivers Tab.

4. Select Browse my computer for driver software

5. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
6. Select Have Disk....
7. Select Browse....
8. Browse to the folder with the Memory Card Driver C:\Drivers\Memory_Card and Select ti21sony.inf
9. You should now see name of your device if you have done the previous steps correct. Click Next to continue.

10. Select Install this driver software anyway.

Good Luck

Thank you very nuch for the help. It worked very well.

However, i now need to sort out the Multimedia Controller.  You are right the model is VGC LA2 All in one Desktop. How do i go about installing the software. I have tried the same  procedure as i did with the Mass storage driver but failed.

Thank you

The Multimedia Controller is almost certainly the TV Tuner board.  This can be installed from the driver folder - not from Device Manager.

Browse to your downloaded drivers and open the folder "TV Capture".

Install the driver by double-clicking on the file "InstallDriver.EXE".
