Problems moving pictures to USB Stick?

Trying to move a folder of about 2500 pictures taken with an iphone from a Windows XP computer, to a 32GB USB memory stick.

I start to move the pictures over and then after the first couple of hundred pictures the process just stops and won't continue

Is the folder to big to move all at once, or is there something else that might be in play?

    I dont know your computing skills so I will try to simplify it. Every drive of any sort has a filesystem format on it, which is how the data is stored. Sometimes the format is broken and data will have trouble transferring between drives. You can rectify it by reformatting (caution, formatting erases all data previously on the drive). My computer, right click on your drive and follow the instructions. I recommend EXFAT partition but if it is available, go with NTFS
