What is the file system Xbox uses, i.e. what file system is on the stick? If it is NTFS then Linux cannot write on it because there is only read-only support for NTFS. Try with FAT32, and see if it works then. Second thing that comes to mind is the kernel version: if you happen to have (gentoo-sources) 2.4.20-r5, then upgrade to r6. That solved the problem for me - I also have a memory stick to which I wasn't able to write (reading was ok), until I upgraded my kernel. I can't remember if I got similar "write protect on" message with r5 though, but at least now with r6 it works... Kari -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
