check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red white green black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems for a computer and its parts
click start control panel administrive tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see
click check now click start two boxes automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in one box then select check now start or you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box
(I have found better results ticking the first box then reurn and tick the second box) you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive
also you might need to do this

If you are running a Windows XP OS then you might be able to:
click start right click on my computer select open
Click Properties in the menu that comes up
Click the Sharing tab
Click permissions
And finally, click Allow next to Full Control.

The short answer to your question is "Yes" however, all information on the drive would be lost. As a work-around, store/move more information to the D: volume. Perhaps install any new software programs to D: rather than C:

Insert the USB stick in your computer, then go to "Start" then "My Computer", locate the USB icon and right click and select "Properties". From there you can do a format of the stick. This will erase all the data including some hidden files that you might have and solve the problem.
Note that even though it says 2Gb, the data you can use is slightly less. This is true for any storage device out there.
