[Gloucs] Knackered USB Drive

[Matthew Booth]

If you're getting physical drive errors, I've heard a number of people
swear by freezing the drive. Apparently this will often give you a short
window to copy stuff off. However, if windows is reporting it 'corrupt',
you might just have filesystem problems.
