Thanks for your suggestion, I do have these settings in my fstab but it makes no difference. The details in fstab are of no effect when the state of the device itself is "detected" as write protect on. Eddie On Tuesday 02 July 2002 12:32 am, Ewan Leith wrote:
If you look in /etc/fstab does the line about the card reader go like this:
/dev/sda1 /media/flash vfat noauto,user 0 0
If there is
/dev/sda1 /media/flash vfat ro,noauto,user 0 0
instead, then remove the "ro" part.

Mike that sounds really good, but my message file comes up with the message that Write Protect is on. Consequently, I can't delete stuff which means I have to do it via the camera (slow) or use MSwindows (which I'm trying to shake of my dependency for). I wish you or some expert out there could tell me how to get the kernel to switch off write protect. I'm using a USB Belkin SM card reader/writer. I'm using SuSE 8.0 and KDE3.
Thanks in Advance,
