Hi Mahdi:
You're experience i had--exactly the same problem--only that it was with my
camera memory. It always showed "read-only" message. I have tried to format it
with "fdisk" but with no joy. Eventually i found out that it was a virus and it
crippled the memory stick. I had to throw it away and purchased a new one.
