Cannot create file or directory when moving files to flash drive

I'm using an industrial computer running Windows XP. We need to transfer 5.3 GB of pictures off the machine because the hard drive is getting full. I've run into this weird problem where the computer refuses to transfer more than 22 MB of data to the flash drive. Once it hits about 22 MB on the flash drive, the machine won't transfer any more files and gets a "Cannot create file or directory" error. It is a 2 GB flash drive and I'm only trying to transfer 150 MB at a time, so it isn't out of space.

Has anyone else ever seen this problem?
