That should not happen. I

That should not happen. I installed it over a dozen times and nothing comparable happened. Maybe your usb drive or your USB connector is faulty. Can you try to connect it to another connector or computer to eliminate the latter?

Bad Drive

This indicates a hardware problem. Installing the PA.c Suite can't do anything hardware-wise to a drive as all it does is copy files onto it. It's either a bad drive just in terms of manufacturing (which does happen) or a hacked drive of a smaller variety pretending to be larger than it is to Windows which causes problems (which is more likely with ebay, craigslist and similar purchases).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
