Sounds like the memorys data is corrupt or windows explorer has got its knickers in a twist.

have you tried using the xcopy command from dos window?:
start>run>"cmd"
try this:

(where e: is the driveletter of the usbstick):
c:
cd\
md temp
xcopy e:\. c:\temp /s
cd temp
dir

(i think thats right, im used to linux/unix these days :)
if you get "data error reading drive E:" or "invalid media error" then start to worry. Ive had data errors in the past when i havent 'stopped' the drive from the device list before pulling it out, theres a fair chance it can really cock things up.
