Please try the following only after you've backed it up first:
You might try running a check disk--open the Run window (either by pressing R with the Windows key held, or if you don't have a Windows key, press Start, Run) and type:
chkdsk c: /r
and press OK. A DOS-style window will open; it should state that it cannot lock the drive. Type Y and press enter; this will let the scan run when the system reboots. Restart it; the scanner will do a detailed scan. If you see a bunch of errors, you may have seen a hard drive failure.

I hate to say this but any type of Flash or USB Ext. Drive will cause the system not to boot up. During the POST the system looks and finds all drives and see's which one it can try and boot from. It finds a USB Ext Drive or Flash Drive it will try and boot from it. The only way to change it from looking at them is to change the Startup Process and make sure that the Removeable Disk is the last thing that the BIOS will try and boot from and that CD-ROM, Floppy and HDD are in that order.
