I have just purchased a Sony Memory Stick Duo (128 MB) for my P800. I
have formatted the stick with the P800, and it works as it should in
the phone, ie I can copy files from the PC to the Memory Stick in the
phone using the USB cradle (which, however, is annoyingly slow).

However, I cannot read the Memory Stick with a card reader attached to
my notebook. It simply doesn't show up.

Is this a file system issue? Do I need special software to access a
Memory Stick formatted by/for a Sony-Ericsson phone on a Windows PC?

Doing as you describe works fine with my P900.
