Hey Saiko,
U mentioned U have a lexar USB drive
For how much did U bought it??
Does it carries warranty and is it fast enough?
Does it takes more time(to copy 1GB)than burning a disc???

It took 3 minutes to copy 650MB of data (with 512 RAM).
12 minutes to copy 650mb of data on a 128mb RAM.

So it takes a lot more time, than burning a CD.

BETween, it's better if u get a pendrive (or flash drive) than CD burner, most of use WINXP nowadays.
