Hello evei101;
Does the USB thumb drive with your files work in other computers?

OK, what type of 'USB' do you actually have?
USB hard drive? Thumb drive? USB is the connection method and doesn't tell us what type of file storage you have.

I have the EXACT same problem! I'm so frustrated as I might have to buy another Laptop or USB as my work at Uni is extremely important! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGH!
