Copy everything off first, so you can restore if it all goes
pear-shaped.
It frightens me to see people keeping their only copy of data on USB
flash devices. Although trashing them is rare, I've seen several that
became completely unusable, including one of mine on the rare occasion
I didn't "safely remove hardware" before unplugging.
Since the symptoms are that the device becomes a 512 BYTE device,
reformatting doesn't work.
