[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1117134, member: 52014"] It seems like your USB stick might be corrupted. You can try using the Diskpart utility in Windows to clean and format it. Here's how: 1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator. 2. Type "diskpart" and press Enter. 3. Type "list disk" and press Enter. 4. Identify your USB stick (be very careful here, you don't want to select the wrong disk), type "select disk X" (replace X with your USB stick number) and press Enter. 5. Type "clean" and press Enter. 6. Type "create partition primary" and press Enter. 7. Type "format fs=ntfs quick" and press Enter. If this doesn't work, the USB stick might be physically damaged and you should replace it. If it does work, I would still recommend replacing it as it has shown signs of unreliability. [/QUOTE]
