Synopsis: Sell/Recycle any flash storage device you have with flash-based memory. Any USB cards or sticks, any digital camera cards like Secure Digital (SD), SmartMedia, CompactFlash, MiniSD, MicroSD, MMC, and Multimedia Cards. In general, any storage device that still works or may even be broken.
Today modern computers both laptops and desktops come with SmartMedia slots built-in and not only at the corner of the desktop and laptop computer world but in the digital camera sphere as well, the flash based storage devices today grip its monopoly as it is the latest “electronic film” with several advantages, noiseless, faster, lighter, bigger and with no moving parts; furthermore, it is rewriteable.
Components: A SmartMedia card or any flash based storage card or USB device consists of 1-4 NAND flash EEPROM microchips. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is a non-volatile storage semiconductor chip that can retain the stored information even when not powered. These semiconductors are solid and its electrical conductivity can be controlled either statically or dynamically. Semiconductors are identical to insulators but are Silicone, and is the prime raw material for all these microchips.
Semiconductors Production and use of Hazardous Substances: Preparation for semiconductor materials requires high levels of chemical purity as even a small existence of impurities can have large effects on the properties of the chips. Furthermore, these materials have to be doped with other elements to adjust its electrical response as a current carrier by controlling the number and charges being either positive or negative.
Due to this requirement of high chemical purity, semiconductor devices require raw materials have to go through series of purification processes from melting to re-solidification through several chemical reactions to produce these modern marvels.
More then eight week of manufacturing is required to process these products through multiple chemical processes and disposition process like Chemical vapor deposition, Chemical-mechanical planarization, and Ion implantation etc. Altogether these USB devices and digital camera storage cards (flash memory chips) have to go though over 300 sequenced processing steps and eight or more levels of major compound procedures.
In this processes many toxic materials and harmful chemicals are used as catalyses to purify them. These substances primarily as listed below are the prime pollutants, and are one of the main causes of miscellaneous cancer and genetic diseases we are facing today and our children will face tomorrow.
Poisonous elements such as arsenic, boron, antimony and phosphorus; poisonous compounds like arsine, phosphine and silane. Highly reactive liquids, such as hydrogen peroxide, fuming nitric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
Computer Recycle & The Environment
Today we at eProvided.com are apprehensive about the wastes that are being generated from electronic products. Those small silicon wafers that allow computers, digital cameras, gadgets, etc. to function, are insatiable abuser of chemicals, water, fossil fuels, and gasses like nitrogen. Just to produce a single semiconductor microchip, it requires over three pounds of fossil fuels, almost a quarter pound of toxic chemicals, seventy pounds of water, and over a pound of nitrogen and all have direct & adverse effect to our health; furthermore, are the prime components for cancer, nervous system disorder, reproduction health and genetic malfunctions.
Now Imagine, the total number of these cards produced this year, 115.7 million in 2006, and 88.2 million in 2005. Linear to this figure are the aggregate effects on the environment.
Hence, if you are the user of SmartMedia cards, SD cards, CompactFlash cards, USB Sticks, USB Thumb Drives, digital cameras, and any other devices including the latest gadget and gizmos like MP3 players and Digital Voice Recorders, remember your responsibility for today’s environmental hazards. These products all use flash memory silicone chips.
Instead of throwing these materials away anticipating it will organically decompose, do remember to either recycle or sell them for reuse.
eProvided.com is the Digital Image Recovery company providing unique service of recovering data from damage devices and helping people worldwide get their trapped data from their damage devices. eProvided now replaces the circuits and fixes and recovers the data no matter what serious type of damage you have on any of your storage devices.

How-To Guide – Block USB Storage Devices on Windows XP
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 December 2010 02:26 Written by databank Wednesday, 29 December 2010 02:26
Joshua Bulman asked:
This guide is written to help an administrator block the access of USB storage devices in Windows XP. This is particularly useful for large offices who work in data sensitive information, like the Health Care industry.
Setting User Permissions
1. Log into an Administrator account in the desired Windows computer.
2. Open up a Windows Explorer window, and in the address field type: %SystemRoot%Inf
3. Locate the files Usbstor.inf and Usbstor.pnf, select both files, right-click and go to Properties.
4. Click on the Security Tab.
5. In the Group or User Names list, add the user group that you want to deny permissions to.
6. In the Permissions for that group, click the Deny box next to Full Control.
7. Now repeat step 6 for the System Account.
This will prevent any new access to a USB storage device, but if a device is already installed on the computer you will need to complete these additional steps.
These steps require that you modify the registry. This can cause serious problems if you modify incorrectly. You should begin by creating a backup of your registry. This can be restored in the event that you incorrectly modify and cause an error in Windows.
Backing Up The Registry
1. Click Start, Run, and type: %SystemRoot%system32restorerstrui.exe
2. Click OK.
3. On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Create a Restore Point and click Next.
4. On the Create a Restore Point page, type a name for the Restore Point and then click Create. -if you have restores turned off it will ask whether to turn on now, click yes, in the System Properties dialog box, clear the Turn off System Restore check box and click OK.
5. After the restore is created click close.
Changing the Registry
1. Click on Start, Run and type: regedit
2. Click OK.
3. Locate and click the following Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesUsbStor
4. In the details area, double-click Start.
5. In the Value data box, type 4, click Hexadecimal (if it is not already selected).
6. Click OK.
7. Exit the Registry Editor.
Now the system should be locked from using USB storage devices. Plug in a USB drive and you will see that it will not load. You can check that it does register in the Device Manager but is not permitted to load drivers.
Verifying in Device Manager
1. Click on Start, then Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.
2. Click on the Hardware tab.
3. Click Device Manager.
4. Listed under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, there should be a device with an exclamation mark. This would be the USB drive with blocked drivers.
Restoring The Registry (ONLY use this if you have incorrectly altered the Registry)
Do not use this to reverse the above effects at a later date, as restoring to this date will undo any adjustments in windows between these dates.
1. Click Start, Run and type: %SystemRoot%System32RestoreRstrui.exe
2. Click OK.
3. On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore My Computer to an Earlier Time and click Next.
4. On the Select A Restore Point page, click the system checkpoint you recently created. In the On This List Select the Restore Point area, click “Guided Help (Registry Backup)” and click Next.
5. A system message may appear that list configuration changes to be made, click OK.
6. Confirm Restore Point Selection, Click Next.
7. Windows will restart, click OK on the confirmation.

New USB Storage & Data Backups – Prevent the Need for USB Flash Drive Repair & USB Drive Recovery
Last Updated on Monday, 27 December 2010 04:51 Written by databank Monday, 27 December 2010 04:51
Bruce Cullen asked:
Pexagon Store-It 1.8″ – New USB Storage Device Now this drive is large. A USB Hard Drive is a razor-thin light-weight portable USB hard drive with a built in one button data backup. A new USB storage device from the “Store-It” series. 30% smaller in size and a 40% weight decrease compared to the 2.5″ “Store-It” USB Drives; it uses a Hitachi Travelstar hard disk drive.
Ya want a backup system? The included software, a one touch backup program, uses the Retrospect backup software supporting numerous sources. This new technology allows for you to back up more than one drive. The cool new Progressive Backup system only backs up new or changed data after the first backup is made. This is a great new feature, the USB storage device allows you to encrypt, password protect, and proof/verify your backups with ease. This USB storage drive is exceptional for adding storage to or backing up any USB enabled desktop or laptop computer. Smaller than your hand, this features a rugged aluminum enclosure to safely protect your data and prevent USB Drive Recovery.
To much to remember these days, I know I must have 1000 passwords. Can you remember what’s on your personal USB thumb drive? Want to avoid plugging it into your notebook or desktop to remember which files are stored there? Why should you do that! This Memorex TravelDrive ID, can allow you to scroll through the drives LCD display clearly showing you a breakdown on all the files stored on your device. If you have many devices and **** plugging them in then get a few of these as it will allow you to decide on which drive to bring and which one to leave behind on the go.
Reminds you of a popular song (Should I stay or should I go now?) by the Clash. The only drawback is price – $80 for 512MB up to $200 for 2GB, almost double the price of a few competing USB products. For those who are a bit slow and have needed USB Drive Recovery services before, we recommend this device to prevent the need for data loss and USB flash drive repair. The more you move your storage around the better the chance for data loss and damage; ease your mind just get one of these and prevent USB Flash Drive Repair issues.
Flash Drives for Those Who Do not Understand Technology USB flash drives are easy to use & compact usb storage devices that are similar in use to your computer hard disk. USB flash drives are small enough to slip into your pocket, conveniently wearable around your neck or can be attached to your key chain for amazing portable storage possibilities and uses. USB flash storage drives fulfill the promise of the digital age: freedom and mobility at its best. eProvided writes these stories to help end users avoid USB Flash Drive Repair issues by recommending the use of brand name devices from smart choice manufacturers. Some manufacturers use very cheap parts (Crystals, chips, capacitors) when building products, use the larger names. USB Drive Recovery is available at eProvided.com’s website but prevent improper use today, get new devices and back your stuff up folks!
Example of Actual USB Flash Drive Repair Error Message – One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
