Windows 10: Nook is seen as a USB drive

Nook reset problem

My Nook Color will not successfully go through the set up after going into a factory reset.

After it asks to choose a time zone, it goes to network connections "Let's get connected" and shows our home network with strong signal.

When you try to continue setup, it says a network-related error occurred.

You may have lost connectivity to the local wireless network.

Press continue and we'll try to test your connection.

It fails and gives the Network Problem notice all over again.


The device manager shows it as a hard drive, but explorer shows it as E:USB Drive.

See Screen Captures below.


I need to load a zip file to the root directory of the Nook Color to update to the latest software, to be able to connect to the B& N Store online.

I have done all the recommendations I can find on line.

Changing computers

Changing usb Ports

Changing Nook cables

Rebooting my router

Deleting and reinstalling my wi-fi connection on the Nook

Windows 10 not recognizing Nook Color

I am having a similar problem only it is with a number of USB devices. i.e., my android phone, my Nook Touch, My printer, and flash drives (Haven't tried my Nook Color). It recognizes the devices, beeps, opens file manager to view the files, then looses
them. Then it recognizes it again. Just keeps going in a loop.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the USB devices in Device Manager, new drivers, and new USB cables for the devices. Nothing works and I cannot get to any of my devices. Next step will be to just get rid of Windows 10 since I can't print, can't
backup any of my devices and can't assess any back drives.

 

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
