If the mount process detects a problem, it'll set the filesystem as readonly. You'll have to back up the data from the stick, repartition and reformat the stick, and then restore the data. There's no guarantee that the data will be 100% correct. Try the following... open a terminal; su to root; execute the command... tail -f /var/log/messages insert the USB stick. Do you see any mention of filesystem panic in the output? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
