[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1456375, member: 24098"] I am a believer that the simplest explanation to a mystery is usually the right one. Chances are the USB devices you've been using are either of poor quality (very common) and/or have corrupt file systems, or just flaky in general - I have seen this before There are a number of flash drives on the market that have auto-executing Windows-specific software on them. This will not run on the Mac at all, but I could certainly see them being hacked to spread malware on Windows machines. That said, I've never seen any such drive for the Mac, so that's probably not the case here. [/QUOTE]
