Why USB "disk on key" is write protected
Hi I brought in and connect USB "disk on key" 32Mb device to Mandrake 8.1 machine. (kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk) I mount the disk in the following way > mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usb but found it write protected. This disk do contain some files I put on it on WIn2k machine and I can access these files. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
