What software are you trying to install?

Have you tried it on a different computer?

Have a look at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

I know the page doesn't describe the error you received here, but it worked for me and some other people in the past.

I had the same issue and it turns out my windows 7 install somehow didn't include 1 INF file that allows usd mass storage devices to work: usbstor.inf

once i got a copy of that magically everything works properly. so to help everyone else out do the following:

copy the text below the **
open notepad
paste the text you copied
save it as usbstor.inf
copy that to the windows\inf directory
uninstall any usb mass storage devices that are not recognized
unplug the usb mass storage devices you just uninstalled
plug them back in

here is the contents of the inf file

[Roderick Young]

The driver for Scanlogic USB storage device is included in Windows. When it did not start, in my case, it was because there was insufficient power to my mass storage device. I was trying to power it off the USB only. Adding an external power adapter cured the issue.

This type of symptom generally occur due to corruption in the hard drive. At that time, it will be beneficial to format your hard drive and backup file to remove corruption and damages. But in case if you don't have the updated backup, then in such situation you can opt the Hard Drive Recovery Software, that is very reliable to repair the bugs and corruption and recover all formatted data and files in safe manner. This is a complete solution and you can also use this software for Lacie hard drive recovery .
