Most likely the pen drive is telling your computer that it is write-protected. > Another issue is that i cant read the > files(I/O errors).

There's no way to tell whether this is a firmware error without more information. You can get more information by turning on the usb-storage verbose debugging option in the kernel configuration and rebuilding the driver. This will cause a lot of additional messages to be sent to the system log. You may have to update /etc/syslog.conf to tell the syslog daemon that it should store debug-level messages from the kernel rather than ignoring them. Doing this will probably tell you what you need to know without any need for a sniffer.
