USB Port & Floppy not working

[Guest]

All of my extra USB Ports (F through I) and my floppy a drive won't work
anymore.
Haven't loaded anything new. When trying to access the floppy disk drive,
or use my flash drive in a USB port, I get this message:
*:\is not accessible. Incorrect Function.

After a systems check, it says all drives and ports are functioning
properly. Any ideas?

I have experienced the same problem. However, not only can I no longer
access my thumb drive (F) or my floppy drive (A), I can also no longer access
my CD/DVD drive or my CDRW drive (D and E). I get the same exact messages as
you do, but for all of my drives except C.

Like Victoria, I am open to suggestions here. We are both in need of some
assistance if anyone can help.

Go to Disk Manager and see which drive letters are there. Change the
disk letter for the USB to some letter that is not being used. This
should stop the USB from trying to use a drive letter that is already
in use.
