Still wouldn't fix it. USB exist in a superposition of states. The only way to get a quantum superposition system like a USB drive to collapse it by entangling it with another quantum superposition, like the USB port on your motherboard. Skipping over a lot of math, the way to do this for USB is to first test all possible sets of superposition states. Which fortunately for us is only two states; the homo-analogues and hetro-analogues states. This entangles the two systems then upon a third attempt it will be in the hetro-analogues state and collapse. The reason for this is the source code for USB was developed in the bowels of hell.
