OK, first, it may just be easier to buy (find) a 2nd hard drive and copy the data.. 22 DVD's seems like a lot!

It sounds like its having hardware or file system problems.

Please go to the event viewer and look for NTFS errors or anything related to this disk issue. Click the little copy button below the arrows (while looking at the event) and paste it here.

Also please run:
chkdsk x:
And replace x with whatever drive letter the USB drive is.

Paste the results for us to see.
