[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1004085, member: 46727"] EndlessMac is correct. [B]Never[/B] format a memory stick that is to be used for both OS X and Windows, using Disk Utility. Because Disk Utility creates a small 200 MB partition ahead of the main formatted partition on the memory stick. Windows can not read past the first 200 MB. To the OP: Re-format the memory stick to FAT-32 using a utility that will be able to "see" the entire 8 GB. Disk Manager in Windows should be able to remove the small 200 MB partition and then format the entire 8 GB. If that doesn't work, you'll need to use something like GParted from Linux to do it. Regards. [/QUOTE]
