Usb ss storage device

[norman52]

I have WIndows XP home addition and I have a USB hard drive that I have lost the installation CD for. Windows can't find a driver for it Code 10
All I have is this fromthe information string for Device Instance ID

USB\VID_04B4&PID_6830\DEF10A0BDCFF

Can anyone tell me what it is so can go get the driver?

What "Generator" is saying isn't totally accurate.....with what you have provided we can extract the following info:

USB\VID_04B4&PID_6830\DEF10A0BDCFF


VID stands for: Vendor Id: 04b4
PID stand for: Product Id: 6830
Last 12 digits are the Serial number of the product: DEF10A0BDCFF

VID and PID are unique to all hardware manufacturer and in your case the hardware manufacturer is "Cypress Semiconductor".....However, Cypress Semiconductor does not make USB drive, they only provide the chip set and OEM their product to assembly company such as Samsung and such.......the VID and PID are used by assembly company to identify the hardware in the software driver which in most cases are done through INF files........

Since Cypress Semiconductor provides chip set to a hug list of companies, it's only possible to find "Correct" driver from the name on the hardware..........You could always use another driver given that PID and VID number are the same or you could always hack the INF for it.

I opened up the case and tried to find a driver for any number/letter or combination of them I could find and it still wouldn't work.
I typed the letter/number combinations into Google and I got 1 Chineese website that wouldn't translate.
I gave up and just went out and bought a new case and put the hard drive in it. I made sure I bought one that Windows recognized without having to load extra drivers. Worked like it should.

Thanks for the help though.
