Flash drive keeps ejecting itself!

[PockieLoli :3]

Hey, so I recently got a 2GB Kingston flash drive from my mom; it was just laying around in her office so she let me have it.

Anyways... the first 5 minutes I had it connected to my Macbook were fine. I copied over ~10 documents and still had 1.98 GB left.

After awhile, files wouldn't copy over. It'd take a long time and eventually the file couldn't be transferred because the flash drive had ejected itself. It also has the habit of reconnecting itself again if I leave it in the USB slot; but then of course ejected on its own again.

This doesn't happen with any other USB devices I use, is my flash drive just defected? :\

Possibly defective or has some bad connection. Is there a light on it that you see go off and on when it loses its connection?

If it's still in it's country of origin, then, no.

Do you have more than one USB port you could try it in, or have you already done that? Maybe it would cooperate due to a slightly better "fit". (?)
