[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1452708, member: 46727"] It sounds like your SanDisk Cruze is corrupt. Those flash drives are pre-formatted as FAT-32 and designed to work for both PC and Mac. Plug the drive into your Mac and open Disk Utility (Applications, Utilities, Disk Utility.app). Erase the drive first and then format it to MS DOS. Make sure the "MBR" scheme is selected. (should be automatic) If the drive will not format, it may be defective and should be returned for a new one. [/QUOTE]
