This may or may not be the same problem, but...
I had a usb flash adaptor that would randomly error out with strange errors
that would be different from time to time. I threw it away and my next usb
flash adaptor did the same thing. Eventually I looked at it closer and
realized that the usb cable was loose in the flash adaptor's usb plug. I
started using a higher quality usb cable and the problem went away.
