I have my Sony Psp memory stick in my computer (it has a built in port for it) and it says its "Read Only File system" when I know its not, my Psp writes files to it almost daily.
I'm the only user of the computer so I should have full permission.
What am I doing wrong.
You probably don't know anything about a psp.
It uses ms pro duo's they don't have locks,
plus it works fine in windows.
(Or at least mine doesn't, both of them)
The filesystem is FAT, right?
COULD be a shitty driver for the card reader, or it's mounted as read-only.

You tipped that when you plugged it to your computer[/QUOTE]
That reminds me of the lock switch on floppy disks.

Older USB flashdrives have 'em too.

And it's pretty handy when you're going to plug it into a computer that you can't trust so any malware can't get on it, but you can still view the files.

Yep, it's a shame that on all newer one's boasting read-only features, it's all software based.
Even though the good ol' switch worked fine, and then you KNEW it's read only.

put your files into an ISO, and hack them into the U3 device. BAM, read-only.
Open a terminal and type this:
[code]sudo nautilus[/code]
This will open Nautilus (GNOME file manager) as the super user. Then, try to open the memory stick's folder, and see if you can write anything. The super user can do anything, so all permissions are bypassed.
If Nautilus is not installed or refuses to work, then
[code]cd /path/to/mounted/device
sudo mkdir foo
[/code]
Or any other command that writes anything. The above example creates a directory (folder) in the current directory, that is named "foo".
If neither of the above work, then there is a communication problem, i.e. hardware/driver issue. Otherwise, if either DOES work, it is being mounted with incorrect settings.

If doesn't work, type this in a terminal
[code]mount[/code]
And post the output

I don't own any U3 usb stick.
And if I had to buy one, I'd just buy THIS plus a low power laptop hdd

I have honestly no idea. seems like only a few suppliers and webshops wish to carry it.
But since Zalman owns the rights for producing/shipping/something-else of it, try checking out here:
