It's looking like they are faulty USB's, just found out my Mum got 2 of them from flea-bay at what I thought sounded like a deal that was too good to be true.
I got the unused one, formatted it, copied about 5 GB of mp3's to it, looked inside and they appeared ok, played a couple from the drive ok, unmounted then remounted and most of them can't be found even though it shows the space is used on the drive.
LOL, it shows files located outside the folders in it's root directory where they should not be, the folder structure appears different etc., the files won't play and so on...
Tried formatting as NTFS & exfat, on a Vista machine & then as Fat32 on LL2, same result.
Running one through H2testw now and it's time remaining seems to vary from about 15 minutes to over 4 hours, according to the readme that comes with it thats a sign it's defective.
Will see what the final report has to say...
Cheers
