    device not ready error


    I am trying to install fonts (from dafont) that I have on my computer in my downloads folder. I am getting an error "device is not ready" and the fonts will not install. I have Windows 10. I was able to do this before so why can I not do it now?

    :)

    Error: No work available to process

    Hmm. Either it's put out errors and WCG is limiting the work units available, or the project list may not be set to supply other WU when one runs out. (if the problem lies here and not on your end)

    On the options to your left, if you go into Results Status, select the computer from Device Name and then look through results see if either they were returned late, errors or any other kind of issue that would stop the servers supplying WU from that perspective.

    If there are no errors then it's maybe down to your project list. So selecting Device Manager from the left menu and then clicking on the profile assigned to that computer and make sure that it's assigned to receive WU for other projects if they run out.

    At least those steps will rule out problems from the WCG end.

    If your device is working fine in Windows 7/8/8.1, I would suggest you to try the steps provided in the article mentioned below and see if it helps you to fix the issue. Though the article is for Windows 8.1 but steps holds good for Windows 10 too.

    Get your apps and devices working in

    USB not showing up - 'The device is not ready'

    I was trying to reformat a USB to NTFS, but the progess was interrupted when someone who didn't know formatting was happening physically removed it. When I tried to plug it back in, it didn't appear in my computer. It shows in Disk Management, but 'Disk
    1, Unknown' and is not initialized. When I try to initialize, it says 'The device is not ready'.

    I have tried:

    • Uninstalling the driver and restarting to Windows reaquires it.
    • Using cmd with the following:
      • DISKPART
      • list disk
      • select disk 1
      • clean
      • create partition primary
      Which gives me the 'the device is not ready' error message.

    Any input is very appreciated.
