2 Terabytes in an old digital camera? Either you're planning on taking a 
LOT of pictures our your Memory Stick is not actually recognised by the 
system.

First off, check that your card reader HARDWARE supports the MS. Have 
you read the Wikipedia page on Memory Sticks? There are almost as many 
variants as Secure Digital has. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Stick

Secondly, have you checked for physical switches on the Memory Stick? 
There might be a read-only switch; there might even be a bank-select 
switch.
