Product: HP TouchSmart IQ500 Series PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

Don't know why but I walked away from computer with my flash drive in it.  It came up with blue screen that said "Your PC couln't start property.  An unexpected I/O erro has occured" with the above error  ode.  Then says, "This problem can happen when a removable storage device is removed while it's in use or is failing.  Properly connecting any removable storage and restarting your PC may fix this problem."  The following are the facts:

 

  1. My flash drive was never removed;
  2. I tried putting in a few different flash drives  but it did not fix it;
  3. Tried Enter (to try again) but nothing, then F8 (Startup Settings) but it will not take me to anyhing; and
  4. Nothing is wrong with my flash drive because I have used it in my laptop for over 3 weeks after the issue started.

Appreciate any help that you can provide...
