Flash drive suddenly started cycling through connecting and disconnecting?

I was moving files over from a flash drive and about halfway through windows started doing the dadam..dadum sound over and over again. The drive never appears in My Computer but will show up momentarily in device manager. This flash drive has worked just fine for years.

I tried it on another windows 7 pc, a win8 and they did the same thing. In ubuntu, nothing happens (albeit I am fairly new to linux).

--Okay I just tried again to see if I could get the error messages in device manager->properties but now it doesn't show up. But windows still makes the noise and the list in device manager keeps refreshing....

No, that didn't seem to help. I feel like that wouldn't be the issue anyways since it started to happen during the middle of transferring files.
