    probably the flash drive. a lot of those things are made very cheaply. I have gone through 2 flash drives, 1 attache drive and 1 comp usa drive. I spent a little more on a quality drive and it has been running good for nearly a year.



    Try and plug it into a PC and see if you can even see the drive or re-format it. If not, it is almost certainly the drive. Hope you bought it recently or have a warranty.
