[QUOTE="inreflection7, post: 987135, member: 141477"] I did a quick search and didn't see anything come up immediately but I really need this issue resolved as quickly as possible. I have dozens of USB flash drives all formatted as FAT using Mac disk utility on 10.6.2 but Windows users are reporting that the drives come up with a warning that says it has to be reformatted and that only 200 mb are available (each drive is 8 GB in size so it shouldn't be this way) Any ideas as to why it mounts fine in Mac and Windows users are having this issue? I need the drives to work on Mac and Windows and figured FAT was the way to go but so far no go and I don't want to have to reformat them all on a Windows computer just to make sure they work properly. That would defeat having a Mac Pro for work. [/QUOTE]
