error in calibre

Not sure if this belongs here or in the calibre forum. I am having problems with calibre generating an error when connecting to my H2O edition 2. This doesn't happen all of the time, but once it starts happening it seems to keep happening until I do a factory reset on my device. I finally was able to get my entire library loaded on the H2O but the error started again today. Before I go back to zero, I thought I would see if there is another solution. I also worry that I may need to work with Kobo to return/replace it.

The error I am getting is during the job "Get list of books on device".
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

IOError: disk I/O error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 510, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1859, in books
File "c:\t\t\apsw-9hooel\apsw-3.13.0-r1\src\cursor.c", line 236, in resetcursor
IOError: IOError: disk I/O error

There is also a corresponding USB error that causes the USB drive to disappear. However, this action doesn't happen until after the error above.

Cablibre version: 3.14 and using the latest Kobo utilities.
Kobo firmware version: 4.4.9298 (factory default). I have tried upgrading the firmware to 4.6.9995 (side-loaded) with the same results. I have not upgraded to the latest firmware 4.7.10413, due to the reported problem with statistics. My PC is running Windows 7.

Would appreciate any advice.
