[QUOTE="kkraemer, post: 1260721, member: 121041"] I have recently bought a 16 GB USB stick, and would like to use it mostly to transfer files from my PC to my Mac, and created a ~ 14 GB partition using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for this purpose. I open this partition on Windows 7 via MacDrive. Now, I also need a small partition for various file transfers (documents and such) to other Windows PCs which don't have MacDrive installed. I therefore formatted the other ~ 2 GB as "MS-DOS (Fat)". The problem is, my Windows PC doesn't recognize the FAT(32?) partition at all. What do? [/QUOTE]
