Is it possible to create document or folder from flash

In reply to Graham Mayor's post on August 27, What do you mean save it to my hard drive? I told you I was old!! I also have another query in a similar vein. I noticed when I was saving last time I did this that it's saying the memory stick is a read-only device.

Never had that before. Does that mean if my computer ever crashes, I won't be able to restore any of my stuff from the memory stick? This is the reason I got the memory stick in the first place!! I sorry I really don't know any other way to save anything. I have haps of memory left, so no probs in that dept.
