(Even though it's firmly plugged in. Piece of crap)

So how do I solve this?

Happens to me often. It'll probably be detected at random. KEEP TRYING!

Actually, Duel's right... I've had times when mine craps out too. Though it hasn't in a while.

Strange too because when I moved to my new appartment, it got rained on durring the move. Thought it was a goner for sure. Though I haven't had an issue with it since.

If it continues to not work... then it's probably dead. I've already bought 3 in the past (I'd rather get a new one then have one that may corrupt data).

not busted just not lucky. give it time, it will work eventualy. its operating persentage is balanced to the amount of frustration used against it.

Apparently so. I just gave it some time and it worked.
