What you might also do, if you can, is to remove the drive and reseat it. That can sometimes clean things up. And while you've got it out, take a look at the connectors to make sure they're good and clean, and in good shape.

Uninstalling the critter is also a good idea (especially if you've got the device drivers). Remove the drive (again, if possible) and remove the drivers. Then let Windows find it again and reinstall it.

Have you searched the manufacturer's web site for support or FAQs? And one final thought, might it still be under warranty?
