Hi

I use a USB stick on my Openindiana and there was a power failure. After 
this my USB stick not work properly.
When I tried to format it I received an error message. The fdisk and 
rmformat tell me the stick is write protected.
How to change this status on my stick?
I don't believe it. It hasn't got any switch on it. So do you know any 
useful trick? I tried on win7,Linux, and OI.
The "dd" command is not working on linux.
The stick is Kingston DT111. Now I'm waiting for the support answer but 
it takes a long time. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Brogyi
