flash drive or my computer?

Help me figure out what is wrong with either an 8GB flash drive or my computer.
My OS is winxp sp2 home ed. and I have 3 very good working flash drives now.
The new 8GB drive is acting very weird. When I transfer image files, the
8GB drive displays some good JPEG image thumbnails which can be opened for
preview or editing but many more strange looking thumbnails with a JPEG label
that will not open! The questionable drive will leave out folders and other
parts during a transfer.
I have not had any of these bizarre effects with the other 3 drives I've
been using for a while so I believe it's the 8 GB flash drive. I formatted
it and have used 'safe remove' to put it in a different USB port but it still
acts strange. I tried to delete some very strange files that appear in the
drive (no idea how or why) and it tells me the files can not be deleted:
cannot read from the source file or disc!
thanks for your help here........
