It could also be a bad USB port, missing/corrupt/outdated driver, or other random glitch. Try connecting it to other USB ports on the same computer, restarting the computer, and connecting the drive to another computer. If the problem continues sporadically, copy all of your files off on an occasion when it does work and reformat the drive, then copy your files back on. General rule: one computer - it's the computer; all computers - it's the flash drive.
