[Klug-general] Memory Stick

Hi Its Me Again
 ( groans all round). I have somehow managed to convert two 1Gig 
memory sticks into Read Only Filing system devices. Both appear on the 
desktop and can be opened one appears to be empty while the other 
contains lots of files which appear to contain garbage. I have mounted 
both from the command line as su and tried chmod  0666 /media/disk to 
try to make it read/write and also tried rm /media/* to try to  clear 
it. mount with -o remount,rw also failed. Also reformatting failed as 
device is read only.  Perhaps someone could tell me what I did wrong I 
did use cfdisk on one to put ext2 fs on it. but the problem seemed to 
happen after I moved some files into folders and deleted the rest, but 
was not apparent until the nxt time I used the stick. If I've trashed 
them permanently it is nota great loss but it would be nice to know why 
it happened.
 regards R.
