I have the 1 GB "Dog Tag" usb flash drive that I have put files on previously, but now when I try to save files to it I get .....cannot create file or directory. What! The computers recogignize it fine when I plug it in and I can even view and open the files that are on it already but it just won't let me add anything to it now. What gives?

It sounds like your permissions are messed up on the flash drive. Since you can see the drive when you insert it, go to My Computer and right click on properties. Go to the security tab and look for the users and what rights they have to access the drive. If you have administrative rights, then you should be able to change any of the setting, or best bet is to add yourself to the list and give yourself full rights. At that point you should be able to do whatever you need to do with that drive.
Good Luck and don't forget to leave a rating based on my solution.
