Also I consider it unlikely that these sticks are bad, because the same happens on both ot them. I bought them on these Internet auctions: http://allegro.pl/item203519391_203519391.html http://allegro.pl/item201343628_pendrive_4_gb_od_1_zl_.html As you can see the first one was a multi-item fixed price sale of 20 of such sticks, and many people bought these, some of whom already given positive comments. The seller has 100% of positive comments, many of which from sale of the same type of USB sticks. I would contact the seller if only one of the sticks was bad - well, that could happen, but would he give me two different bad sticks? Both where bought from the same seller. -- Miernik http://miernik.name/ _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
