What is causing Windows to stop installation of any usb driver plugged on my computer windows error code 43?

ERROR 43? Check your SATA connection.
HERE'S HOW I FIXED MINE.
(IE. Computer tries to install driver for BD burner, but ultimately fails, and gives the message. "Unsuccessful" and/or "Microsoft Windows stopped device. Error 43") The SATA CONNECTION on my BD burner's EXTERNAL CASE had gone bad.
TO TEST IT. I used a SATA/IDE to USB Adapter Cable I bought for about $10 on amazon.

• I unscrewed the external case to get at the internal drive, and plugged the SATA adapter cable directly into the internal BD burner drive (bypassing the case assembly), and plugged the other end into my computer USB port.
  • PS My BD burner POWER was working OK, so I left the big white 4pin power adapter connected to the original external case.

VOILA! Both my laptop and my desktop PC recognized the LG BD burner again and assigned it a drive letter (like it used to do).

• Now I either need to (1) Buy a NEW EXTERNAL case ($10 - $30), (2) install it as an internal drive (could get problematic if "ANYDVD" is installed) or (3) just leave it connected via the cheap adapter cable.

It's super EASY (& inexpensive) to TEST this before spending $$$$ on a new equipment.
Hope this helps someone. It had me miffed for a while there.

Error Code 43 is a Device Manager error that means the following:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
When you get this error with USB devices it's because one of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner. It will be of issue of the loaded corrupted drivers. You should reinstall the operating system or reinstall the drivers that doesnt have virus or file damages.

You get this error code if there is an issue with the drivers.

Please select your windows system.

You probably need to download the chipset driver.

Open the folder, and click on global for download.

Unzip the file before you install the driver.

Look also in the bios setup, for the usb settings.
Try also to download the manual.
Try also to upgrade the bios.

Hope this will help you

Cause of the Code 43 Error

A Code 43 error is generated when Device Manager stops a hardware device because the hardware reported to Windows that it's having some kind of unspecified problem.
This extremely generic message could mean there's a true hardware issue or it could simply mean that there's a driver problem that Windows isn't seeing as such but that the hardware is being affected by.

Depending on the changes you made, some solutions might include:

• Remove or reconfigure the newly installed device.
• Roll back the driver to a version prior to your update.
• Use System Restore to undo recent Device Manager related changes.

Usually this is caused by bad hardware drivers, etc. First restrat the computer. If that does not do it check to see if you have any new hardware installed. If not try updating your drivers.

3. Reinstall the drivers for the device. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers for the device is a possible solution to a Code 43 error.
   
   Important: If a USB device is generating the Code 43 error, uninstall every deviceunder the Universal Serial Bus controllers hardware category in Device Manager as part of the driver reinstall. This includes any USB Mass Storage Device, USB Host Controller, and USB Root Hub.
   
   Note: Properly reinstalling a driver, as in the instructions linked above, is not the same as simply updating a driver. A full driver reinstall involves completely removing the currently installed driver and then letting Windows install it over again from scratch.
