I don't know much about the USB driver and protocols, but it sounds like
there is some problem communicating.

Sorry, I don't have any answers, but maybe some questions might give the
spark that leads to the answer?

If you are using the "Pro" memory sticks, maybe they have a different
format than MSDOS?  Or maybe the "Pro" sticks use a different USB
protocol (USB2 maybe)?  It might be worth doing some experiments with the
non-Pro sticks, if you haven't already...

Also, there is a Sony firmware update for the F828 (2.0 3/29/2004) that is
supposed to fix some problems, including corruption when using USB2.

Yep, there is one in every crowd, someone who does not understand the
difference between a million pages of marginally useful crap and a few
informative "been there, done that" responses from one's peers.

Hope you find the answer! :-)
