These are the steps needed to copy a disk image (.img file)
For example, I wanted to copy a Linux boot image file to a memory stick so that I could boot a Linux server directly from the stick.
What you don't want to do is have Mac OS X mount the stick and just drag the image to the stick in the Finder. This will copy the file to the filesystem that is already on the stick.
You want to replace that filesystem with the one contained in the .img file. Note that this is complete replacement - and existing data on the stick will be erased.![Stick Stick](https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/electrical-devices-2/60/devices-flat-079-usb-stick-512.png)
1. Insert the memory stick in the Mac
2. Open the Disk Utility application (in Applications/Utilities)
You should see the name of the USB stick appear in the left panel in the application, below your system disk.
3. Click the memory stick name, then click the 'Restore' tab at the top of the right hand panel.
4. Drag and drop the .img file to be copied into the Source box in Disk Utility.
5. Drag the memory stick icon from the left panel into the Destination box.
6. Click the Restore button that has now become active and click OK in the confirmation window which then appears.
7. Enter your password in the authentication window that pops up.
8. The copy is complete when the Source and Destination boxes in Disk Utility go blank.
9. Click on the memory stick icon in the Finder and you should see the contents have been replaced with those of the disk image.

There are many factors that have lead to this. Have you tried plugging it into another computer that may be Windows or Linux and opening up the files? I have never had good experiences with USB's. If they are not treated properly, meaning using the Safety-Eject feature on Macs and Windows, they do not tend to last very long.

I suggest, you try to find a USB that is already FAT-32 (Windows version of MS-DOS formatting) and try copying test files, like pictures or music. If you are able to borrow a Windows computer for about 5 minutes, run some tests.
Usually I find that the USB has had its time. Try not to format the USB too often, as this diminishes the life of the drive.
I hope this helps
