Good Evening Simon,
What file system is the Flash Drive formatted with? Also, are you only 
unable to access the drive on your Fedora systems, or have the symptoms 
carried over to your Windows boxes as well?

 	A quick question about a USB stick that is used between FC6, F7 and
Win98 boxes. In the last week it has become read-only.  I can't change
permissions as root.  Any file or directory on it that is selected also
is tagged with a lock icon and is read-only.  How can it be changed to
read-write?
