As the title says my memory stick is read only. I successfully wrote to it once, transfered the files to my PC to burn them but now I can't write to it any more??? what am I missing here?

Greg

Either that - or the PC has changed the user name and your normal account can't write to it.

How is your memory stick formatted? If it's not FAT, that might be the reason.

It's SD right? I would really look for a read/write switch.
