and memory stick is old technology. In addition be careful of the switch. In sdc cards, the switch does not truly make the card read only, instead it is a bit to indicate the switch is on or off. It is up to the software to ensure that you do not write to it. Of course this may have changed -- Joseph Loo j...@acm.org

Alternate method, is get something like parted magic (live rescue disk) and boot from it. There you can try mounting the drive. In some cases you may need to do a fsck to check the system (make backup before doing it). -- Joseph Loo j...@acm.org
