why is it computers decide to change their mind about using hardware, for no blessed reason whatsoever? have a half gig kingston flash drive that has been working just fine, transferring data as i wished, copying and pasting to different machines. NOW, all of a sudden (in a flash) it decides to recognize BOTH an F and G drive, and the drive will accept no files because of I/O error. natcherly, windows help, troubleshooting, removing each drive separately, reinstallation, etc. does NOT help. ever want to choke a programmer?

ya computers are dumb machines.
