Is there a way around this? I don't want to reformat it and lose all the data that's on there. It worked just fine last night.
I've read some articles about this problem online, but I'm not getting the gist of what's being said on the various forums.

I ken haz help pleez?
Did you try to unplug it from the usb port and re-plug it in? if you have an that didn't work, try and revert to the previous version of windows via system recovery/windows backup. once you revert, back up all those files, and then proceed to re-upgrade to SP2
