Have a Tangent rider MP3 player that is recognized on any XP-pc except my own - it's totally impossible to mount it.

I've tried to dedicate the drive letter that it is mounted with on other computers. That did not help either.

When I look at the assigned USB-driver it is called Bonifay.sys. This driver came once with an external disk from Freecom. I've tried to remove this driver by renaming it and hoping that the ordinary XP-drivers that are there, would take it's place. But unfortuneately it did not work. I had to rename it back again to make my USB-devices function. So there I am - disillusioned.

Can anyone give me a tip to get further?

Howdy Manforte and welcome to PC Help froum,

Does Xp see it as a mass storage device? Here is all the trouble shooting I found on the exact player you have

Thanks! XP puts it in the list of USB-devices as Unknown. When I examine the drivers, only the Bonifay.sys driver is listed. (All the other USB-drives has a set of different drivers - name usually started with usb.. (usbhub.sys/usbstor.sys etc) That is why I suspicious of this Bonifay.sys driver.

Have you looked at the rouble shooting guide in the link. It has the exact error you have as well

Yes, I've read it. And it has nothing to do with the drive letter. I've even freed the letter F: that it mounts with my other computer, but even that did not help.

have you tried changing your dvd rom drive to Z and mounting it as another drive letter? I dont know if a diffferent drive letter is going to help one way or another.

Go into your device manager click uninstall and reboot. See if it picks it up

I removed the unknown entity from the device manager and it did not pick it up after rebooting.
