External storage device issues?...

[guitarman777]

So this just started a little earlier today where my laptop won't recognize any external drive, regardless if it's USB or FireWire, disk or flash. If I restart the computer it corrects the problem, but at some point it decides something isn't right and my external drives don't show up. When the problem first hits, I get the following system error messages:

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/IOSCSIArchitectureModelFamily.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

Anyone else encounter this issue and these errors?

Fixed. Ran "repair disk permissions" in Disk Utility.
