Purchase a USB with a write protect switch and make sure that it's always set ON.2. There are devices that connects between the computer and your USB. THese devices allows data to be copied from the USB to the computer. However, if you write to the USB, the computer will believe that that data is copied (the hardware in between fakes the write operation), but no data is ever copied to the USB.These are not cheap as they are not targeted to the home user.Note: There are cheap ones in eBay but I believe they disconnected the data signal wires and allows only power to pass through. So probably these will not 'read' or mount either.3. The other easy method. Just fill up the free space of the USB so that there isn't any space to write anything. There are so many utilities that will dummy fill your device. Else you can write a small bash script to do the same.</blockquote>
