"Popup error ' A:\ is not Accessible, incorrect function" when you try to read the "A" drive in Explorer.

When you try to read a disk in the 'A' drive from Windows Explorer, I get a Popup with a white 'X' in a red circle and a message that "A:\ is not Accessible" "Incorrect function" and an OK button at the bottom.  It happens to any disk, formatted or not, with the files or empty.  I replaced the disk drive - no help.

I don't know if it's a windows setting went crazy or a motherboard problem.  My BIOS seems correct.  If I do a 'fill' of window hardware in administrative tools he tells me that I have data on the disk.

I have XP - SP3.

Any ideas-

go to a command prompt and type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and let it run... see if this is helpful at all.

Hope do you feel better soon.

    Method 2:
    This problem may be due to database corruption. You can delete the Windows Media Player database and check if the problem persists.

    Steps to clear the database of windows media player:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
    c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. Click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

    c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

  • Stopper 0x000000F7 blue screen error occurs when you try to access the floppy drive.

    The error occurs on computers 3differnt.  Sometimes using "My Computer" to access the floppy drive.  Malware, spyware and viruses, the computer has been verified.  Clean everything. No new disk drivers listed.

    Tell us what you have done that you are convinced that it's clean... Here is a description of the error code in the Windows debugging tools help file:
    "Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER.
    Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER

    Bug DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER control has a value of 0x000000F7. This indicates that a driver has saturated a stack-based buffer.

    Cause

    A driver invaded a buffer based on the stack (or a local variable) in a way that would have replaced the function's return address and jumped to an arbitrary address when the function returned. »

    This is the classic "buffer overflow" attacks of piracy in my opinion. The system has been reduced to prevent a malicious user to take complete control of it.

    This is very probably a malware problem or a problem with a driver.  I suggest several anti-malware scans to make sure you are clean and then begin to check your drivers to see if there are some more updated versions available.

    Hello fighclubber25,

    a. don't you make changes to the computer before having this problem?

    b. are the other USB devices work properly on your computer?

    I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.

    Method 1:

    My research, I find that there are several problems with the Antivirus software when trying to install the drivers for the Western Digital hard drive. I suggest that you disable the antivirus software temporarily and verify if you are able to install the drivers. Also, make sure you download the correct version of the drivers.

    Note: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test. You can check the link for more information below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Method 2:

    Connect the drive to another computer and check if you are able to load the drivers. Just to make sure that the hard drive is not defective.

    Yes, the source for the GF tools is available, but unless you already know how to debug Eclipse plugins, it's a pretty deep rabbit hole.

    1. to help-> them to install the new software

    2. use http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/luna/ as the URL of the repository

    3 uncheck the box "group items by category.

    4. Select and install GlassFish Source tools

    Otherwise, try to create a skeletal project that reproduces the problem and send it to us for analysis. Of the stack trace, it seems that the problem is somehow related to the GF web application deployment descriptor, so be sure to preserve by a repro.
