[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1241834, member: 38864"] Ok. So Disk Utility does see it, Finder doesn't. DU says it's formatted in FAT so the Finder should be seeing it. My only suggestion at the moment is to re-format it. If you still need to share it with Windows PCs, [URL="http://www.ehow.com/how_6780781_format-thumb-drive-fat32.html"]use FAT32[/URL]. If not, use Mac OS Extended (Journaled), aka HFS+. EDIT: BTW… I just had a thought. Is there any chance there the thumb drive is encrypted? I have no personal experience with encryption software, but without that software installed, I'm wondering if that would explain why the Finder can't see the drive. [/QUOTE]
