   File corruption also occurs when the file is stored on a USB device that's disconnected while it's open in Windows. If the device's activity light is flashing, wait a few seconds after it quits blinking before removing it. If it doesn't stop, go to the Windows taskbar and select the Safely Remove Hardware icon.
