Did you format it with NTFS with compression and add data to it?

If not, the drive needs to be reformatted as this happens only when data gets corrupted. I have had such problems with faulty flash memory cards
(once a 256 mb card was showing 1gig. It died soon after. RIP :'((
:sniff: It cost me 2k back then)
