Hi, I get "The disc you installed was not readable by this computer....Ignore/Eject" when I plug my Huawei E220 3G Modem into my Macbook. It does however function ok. Does anyone know if this is a Snow Leopard problem or a Huawei problem? I also am unable to locate the Huawei driver on my system to delete it...Where does Huawei park this driver and how do I delete it? Many thanks. Dion Using OSX 10.6.2
Huawei makes their modems with the Windows driver installer in ROM. It reports itself over USB as an external CD drive with a disc installed, and this disc includes the driver installer. That is the disc that it fails to mount, but that isn't really a problem as you don't need the Windows driver anyway.
Leopard comes with the relevant drivers from the start. Snow Leopard apparently needs an update.
The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx
As P. says, the driver is in the modem's ROM, you can't modify that. It is not on your computer, since the virtual disk it's on cannot be mounted to install it, and it is a Windows file anyway. And it is doing no harm where it is.
