[QUOTE="PaulRanger1, post: 1609497, member: 314584"] Hello gsahli, I inserted the brand new DOS formatted flash drive, selected it in Disk Utility and then used DU to reformat to OS X Extended Journaled (after 7 x most secure erase sequence). The FD is now OS X Ext Journal formatted (GUID partition). DU should enable me to format the FD back to DOS but will the Partition GUID option come into play when formatting back to DOS? Will I then be able to drag the MP4 files onto the FAT32 FD so the Mac can copy each file, please? There are 22 x (≈) 400MB and are episodes in the one TV series. I hope this clarifies my situation a little. Thank you for your kind response. Sincerely, PaulRanger1. P.S. The "LG" DVD/VCR combo I'm using states in its specs that it supports USB 1.1 and my iMac 21.5 inch uses USB 2.0. Will this preclude the combo reading the episodes on the FAT32 flash drive, do you think? [/QUOTE]
