Hi,
I just bought a Kingston 64 MB memory stick and I cant save to it. It is recognized by my computer and given the drive letter E. I tried formatting it but it cant do that either. I get the message I/O error. I am running XP professional with SP2 and all updates. Any ideas?
thanks

It could just be faulty. The toggle is still on so it cannot be formatted or try another usb port .

There should be a slider switch (button) on the stick. Make sure it is not on write protect.

I cant seem to find a button or a toggle on it. Nothing that I can move to un write protect. Is this why it was only 10 dollars?
