hi i was looking through my system information via system tools on windows xp home edition everything was fine till i got to the problem devices tab, in this window was a message usb mass storage error code 47 any ideas what that means anybody, i have a internal card reader classed as a usb mass storage device but it seems to be working ok

from the M$ site

Code 47
Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for safe removal, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)


Recommended resolution


To fix this problem, unplug this device from the computer and then plug it in again.

The device has been prepared for ejection.

This error code occurs only if the user used the Safe Removal application to prepare the device for removal, or pressed a physical eject button. Restarting the computer brings the device online if the user does not want to eject from the dock.

Unplug the device, and then plug it in again. Alternately, restart the computer to make the device available.

On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
