How does a memory stick become unusable? I plug it in and Windows dings.
It shows up as removable Disk F:. When I click on it, it says please

Does this memory stick work in another computer?
Do other memory sticks work in this computer?

Memory sticks are usually Flash type memory. This type of memory
characteristically has a limited number of write cycles (although that
number is fairly large). Directly accessing files with programs that

to the hard drive, work with them there, then copy them back to the
memory stick when done.
