Sounds like the drive might even be overheating, devo -- your situation is definitely different than OneMatchFire's.
What I'd probably suggest at this point is to upgrade to Tiger and use its Migration Assistant to pull over the data. It'll copy less that way, and you might get it all off before the drive overheats.
I'd also seriously consider selling this USB drive on eBay or something and getting a good FireWire drive!
