USB External Hard Drive

I bought a USB 2.0, 80Gb 3.5" external hard drive enclosure for a backup. I'm running Win 2000 Pro, and updated all of my USB drivers to 2.0 without any problems. It worked fine when I first installed it, and I formatted and partitioned it successfully. Then it started acting up on me when I tried to copy files to it. What it does is, recognize the drive, assign it a drive letter, then within minutes later it says I have "Unsafely removed it" when I hadn't touched it or done anything. Then when I accept the error messages it re-recognizes the drive and assigns it a drive letter again. Then says I've unsafely removed it! This never-ending process goes on and on. It works fine on WinXP on my laptop, so it's not the drive itself. Any idea why the USB drivers are acting this way? I've tried drivers from all over the web, and I even tried reformatting it on my laptop with WinXP, nothing works :( Please help
