Folks,

I realize this is the wrong place to ask this question,
but you guys are so much more fun than the LINUX crowd,
who don't seem to have much of a sense of humor.

I just bought a 4 GByte Kensington TRAVELDRIVE memory
stick to carry data files back and forth. It seemed to
work great for a couple of days, but now my LINUX machine
at work (SUSE 10.2) won't write files to it because it
says the disk is "formatted as a read-only file system".
I can read *from* it, but not write *to* it.

The disk is formatted as FAT32, which I think both Windows
and UNIX should be able to see and read/write to.

Oddly, I have NO trouble writing to the stick with my
SUSE 10.3 installation here.

I have files on it that I put on it from my SUSE 10.2
installation, so this MUST have worked at one time.

Any ideas at all as to what might be going on here?

Thanks,

David
