XP has a built in tool called DISKPART.

Use it on your USB stick to reformat it.

!!!!Note it will completely wipe all information from the disk!!!!

I had the same problem with an SD card a couple of years ago. I was copying an 800MB WAV file to a 2GB SD card that already had around a gig of stuff on it. When the card hit 80% of its capacity, the copying stopped, and all of the data on the card was destroyed. I had to reformat that cheap piece of crap in my camera, since Explorer would freeze if I tried to access it. After a few months of additional usage, I could only use 1.2GB before the data corruption would occur.

You should buy a new card for your camera before it gets any worse. The flash chips in those memory cards don't last forever.

The HTPC:
Pentium M oc'ed to 2.82GHz, 667FSB, 2MB L2
3GB of DDR-800 @ 667MHz
GeForce 9600GT
Blu-Ray
Vista
Modified PowerMac G4 'Quicksilver' case
HDMI to homebuilt 1080p projector
