That's not what he asked. He's asking what file format is the thumb drive using? For example... if the thumb drive is formatted to NTFS, your MacBook Pro can read it but not write to it. If it's formatted to FAT-32 like most thumb drives, then your Mac should be able to read and write to it.

This is what the school said after I bought it
Windows Seven, Vista, or XP, Windows 8 in the desktop tile. (Not compatible with Windows RT)
1.0 GHz CPU, 384 MB RAM
2.0 and 3.0 USB ports supported
Mouse or compatible pointing device
1024 X 768 Screen Resolution
How do I find the format is they won't let me install it just read it they told me if I try to download it it would be damaged and can't use it

Tell us what happens when you plug the USB thumb drive into your Mac.
