This is actualy an old problem ( about 6 months more or less ), I have a thumb drive that my friend who owns it, gave to me to fix. It is called "Patriot Memory", I have barely any recollection of a company called patriot, but anyways, when he bought it, he asked me to send some files over to him through this memory stick (module, whatever you want to call it). When I popped it in, dmesg found the hardware, but gave out some error that I cannot remember, (probably the same as what is shown below) but I can safely say it did have an error gaining write access. As soon as I pulled it out and put it back into my friends laptop (which ran XP), it could not find the device. I could not figure why it did not work, but I didn't ask any questions online, for my friend just said he'll exchange it for another one at CompUSA. He recieved another new one and did the same thing over again and recieved the same error and the same after effect. He left it with me, good thing he didn't absolutely have to use it, and I said I'll see what I can do. Both of us forgot about it, until today (the day of this post). I plugged it into my gentoo-laptop and got the following error in dmesg followed by an error when I tried to fdisk the drive:

What could be the problem. And could linux really be the culprit? Windows handle it just fine until I plugged it into a Lin-box. I tried this module on one other computer besides the two before, and it still outputs errors. Any ideas?
