files not getting copied fully to usb drive from my comp
 
I tried copying files from my ubuntu computer to a usb drive. But the file transfer doesn't complete and gets stuck at some point.

Ex: If I try to copy a file having a size of 622MB, the files transfer runs smoothly till maybe 617MB and then doesn't proceed at all.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Do you get any error message?
Did you ran it in verbose+hash mode?
Did you try copying any other file to USB drive? What was the result?
Do you see any errors in the log files /var/log/faillog and /var/log/messages ?

Run cp command as follows and let us know how far it goes:

cp -arv /source/filename /destination

use . instead of filename if there are many files that needs to be copied.
