[QUOTE="kellygee, post: 1285051, member: 212157"] [b]A possible work-around[/b] I have an iMac and a MBP that are not recognizing USB drives. After a few convoluted suggestions didn't work, I plugged a flash drive I was working with into the USB port on an Apple wired extended keyboard (on the iMac) and the drives (flash drive has 2 partitions) mounted immediately. I then plugged the keyboard into the MBP to see if it would read them also and it did. So if you've got a keyboard with a USB port on it, it's something to try. [/QUOTE]
