Help, Lappy not transfering files to USB or CD

Hi IIS'ers
Dang Computers, My Toshiba Lappy is not managing copying astro image files to a USB memory stick - It did it no worries a couple months back but for some reason, now, its just stalling on the 'copying files' part, it starts off at 3.5 Mb per sec for a couple of seconds then drops to 15kb per sec - hit the cancel button, get a ghosty screen, nothing else activates and I have to kill the switch to force a shutdown ? ?
Dang I dont need this drama, for three days Ive fluke transfering 3 darkframes and thats it, so to get the other 200 odd files - well, looking at least 6-8 months yeah, beauty, Grrr ! ! !
Tried perform a 'drag & drop' onto a CD, dropped into the CD, spun up at which I had high hopes, but yet again, it stopped spinning and now doing nothing much at all, same caper ! ! !
Ive done a complete Windows upgrade to no avail, System Serial USB Buses are all working fine, apparently.

Just thinking - It was very cold out Leyburn a couple of nights out of five, around -4, this I wouldnt think could damage the Lappy, quite a few of us use lappys in sub zero, it ws under shelter, so no dew on it ?

Where to go from here - I have no idea
Appreciate help
