Hello,
Try this 1
1) Click on Start --> Run ( In windows vista\7, in search box) --> Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. Device Manager window will be opened. If you notice any yellow mark  --> right click on it --> Select the option update and follow the instructions.
2) Check if you can see your drive in the disk management.
Click on Start --> Run ( In windows vista\7, in search box) --> Type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter.
"Device Management" window will be opened.
3) Try updating your usb drivers also.
Good Luck.

Install this program impossible, because there has a " its.dll " Try re-install the program!
