I started having a weird problem with usb memory stick
(I gather after unplugging it from a Linux machine)-I cannot
save to it:'the directory of disk is full' message appears ,
or 'File cannot be created' if I try to make a new file.
This happens on different win OS/machines but I can modify files
existing on the USB!!!
Any help appreciated

Try taking all your files off it and reformatting it.

My guess is the stick is U/S. You probably unplugged the thing whilst the pc
was writing to it or accessing a file on the stick.
You should always click the icon to remove the devices before unplugging.
Drag you files over to the HD then buy a new stick.
Formatting probably won't fix it.
