memcard can't get enough of read-only

Stuka · July 29th, 2006

When i try to save to the memory card on ff8 it says that the 3 first slots are damaged: "data is damaged" and the rest is filled with "other game Data" even thought the memory card is blank. I can save over "data is damaged" slots but when i load after that it says that the there is no game data!!!

after searching the forum i found out about making sure the memcard folder is not read-only. I checked and found memcard to have read-only gray ticked. Removed it and tried again. But did not work.
Thinking I made a mistake i checked memcard again.
The grayed tick was still there so i removed again.
to make sure i did remove it i checked again.
The grayed tick was BACK!!
Did it numerous time but the folder remained read only!
tried removing the fodler and making a new one with the same name!
The new folder became read-only!

And it's not that i don't close epsx properly, cause 99% of the time i do!

When i try to save on a fulled memory card it does reconize it as full!

Any ideas?
maybe some security isue with windows sp2?
