Do you have any more information about the stick? You haven't given me
much to work with right now.
I'm thinking of a few different possibilities:
1) Some players have hardware locks on them. Does your stick have a
write-protect switch? It's a simple thing, but it's tripped me up in
the past.
2) Are you mounting the drive read-only? Again, something that's
tripped me up in the past.
3) Is it really a vfat filesystem? Perhaps your friend reformatted it
to NTFS or something.
All three of these are wild stabs in the dark. Like I said, I need
more information.
Would any of the links on this page help?
