Have you installed any other drives/removable storage in last few weeks?

This happened to me, the drive letter "F" was assigned to another removable device. I had to go into device manager and assigned my USB drive a different drive letter [I used Z] and it has worked ever since.

- That is why I generally set mine to use a rarely used letter from the get-go.
  My PC has installed drives and partitions up to H: so trying to plug in F: would lead to hilarity.

- No I used it yesterday and it was fine. Used it today and it says its protected. Since then no-one has used the computer

I have been having the same problem. I'm not sure but I think it may have something to do with copyright laws & websites getting smarter about them.

  This is some kind of USB conspiracy...

I just wiggled my flash drive until the light goes on. Or, I access the C drive and then I edit the address in the address bar to read F:/ and then the flash drive pops open. it works for me.
