hi there, first post for me here.
so here's the deal, i have this usb flash drive (or thumb/pen drive, as you wish), that i've been using on my macbook pro and various PCs, and from a point and on, my mac simply stopped recognizing the drive, that is i plug it in, and it doesn't appear anywhere, not on the finder, desktop etc.
this has already happened to me once again with another usb stick, which after plugging it in a windows Pc, it joined the dark side and never came back to OS X.
the brand of this pen drive, should it matter, is "Gizmo Jr." - whatever, what a name. ;D
i am suspecting that it might have to do something with the usb drive having been formatted on the windows file system, after plugging it in a Pc...would there be a way to reformat it on the OS X file system again ?
anyone got a clue ?
thanks a lot for your time and patience!
