If this is true then the only problem (assuming that it is not a faulty memory) is the formatting. However as dhbailey noted, he has trouble with both formats.

Perhaps there is a utility at the Sony website for formatting the sticks.
At Sony Support you can find memory stick formatter software.

It run only with original Sony memory stick Reader/Writer like:
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer (MSAC-US20)
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer (MSAC-US30)
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer Mouse (MSAC-US70)
* Memory Stick PC Card Adaptor (MSAC-PC3)
* Memory Stick PC Card Adaptor (MSAC-PC4)
* Memory Stick PC Card Adaptor (MSAC-PC2)
* MagicGate Memory Stick compatible USB Reader/Writer (MSGC-US10)
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer (MSAC-US1)
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer (MSAC-US2)
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer Mouse (MSAC-US5)
* Memory Stick USB Reader/Writer Mouse (MSAC-US7)

I haven't an original memory stick reader/writer.
