Oddly, I reproduced the error also with 2GB microSD card with SD adapter. This adapter happens to have "LOCK" swich on the side.

With LOCK enabled, I could use the disk with Vista just fine, but in Linux this microSD card was Read-Only.

With LOCK disabled, Vista were just fine read-write as usual, but Linux could also write on this disk just fine! =D

Error seems to be located in kernel handling USB media, since this LOCK switch made it possible to write on the microSD flash stick. Although, I'm still unable to write on any of my few USB stick (6 / FAT16) with Hardy LiveCD.
