Flashdrive...

I recently switched from being a PC user to a Mac user, hooray for me!

I have this flashdrive that I had used constantly with PCs and I have a lot of information on it. I am a little worried that it will get deleted if I hook it up to my Mac.

It has happened once before, except I think it was because the Mac that I was using was maybe 6 or 7 years old, as was the PC that I hooked it up to after it was hooked up to the Mac. The data got cleared from the flashdrive.

So am I safe hooking the flashdrive up to my Mac? Or should I figure out some other way of getting the information off of it onto my computer?

I haven't had any issues connecting modern flash drives to anything, mac, pc, linux, etc. If you're really worried, back up the data a pc before putting it in the mac.

I have never heard of that happening before, unless you formated the Flash drive somehow. I have a Flashdrive that I use for all my files, formated for PC and I can use it on Macs and then bring it home and work on my PC as well. Never had any issues.

odd, i've had two flash-drive brands, both worked fine between pc and mac.

All my files work from my pc to my mac. Did you remember to "eject" it before you unplugged it? I don't see how that would delete your files, because I did it on accident and nothing happened, but I suppose it could be possible?
