I would be grateful for any help with this problem, i plugged in my HTC pHONE AND REMOVED IT FROM THE COMPUTER USING THE REMOVAL ICON ON DESKBAR HOWEVER I NOW GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR
Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)

To fix this problem, unplug this device from your computer and then plug it in again.

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

I HAVE REMOVED DRIVER BUT ON EACH REBOOT WINDOWS RELOADS I THEN SEE THE REMOVAL ICON ON THE DESKBAR BUT AT THAT TIME WINDOWS CAN STILL SEE THE USB MAS STORAGE DEVICE AND IT IS WORKING OK CLICK ON THE ICON AND THATS WHEN I GET THE YELLOW TAG BY THE ITEM IN DEVICE MANAGER AND THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE IN THE PROPERTIE BOX ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE
