Hard-removed device duplicated
By fcpk | December 31st, 2008 | 2:36 pm
I had eboostr working on one of my usb keys, and someone accidentaly unplugged it.
When I plugged back the key in, eboostr kept the old entry marked as non working(/!\ symbol) but also added a new working one.
OS: Windows Server 2008 x64
Dec 31, 2008
Tried in Vista x64 SP2-beta: issue does not occur. I still have Readyboost & Superfetch enabled in the OS though: turned off my RB space on my flash before installing the software.

Turned off Readyboost and Superfetch: issue still does not occur.

it might have to do with the fact I replugged the device in another usb port

I tried that in my own test: didn’t have that result. Then again, I’m running SP2 beta: they may have adjusted USB device handling.

The exact event sequence was the following:
There were 2 keys plugged in [flash1,flash2]
flash1 was being used by eboostr
1.I stopped flash2 from being used into windows through the remove device.
2.flash2 was unplugged
3.A few seconds later flash1 was unplugged by mistake
4.flash1 was plugged back in(possibly in another port, I’m not sure).
5.I opened the eboostr control panel, and the drive appeared twice. I couldnt remove the old drive(it’s still there).
In case this helps:
All opened handles/dll containing the eboostr string
