Public bug reported:
I have a video watch I bought from thinkgeek.com. When I hook it up via
USB, it will stay connected for a while. But if I try to do something
that makes the OS read or modify it too much, it will disconnect with
the unsafe USB device removal message.
I was hoping I could get by without this happening long enough to move
my music off of it onto my computer. But I wasn't so lucky. The
disconnection happened during the move, and when I got it plugged back
in there were random, gibberish file names and directory names strewn
all across the device's root directory as well as its music subdirectory
and most of my music was corrupted.
I followed the instructions for debugging removable devices.
Below is the included information suggested by the instructions.
