[QUOTE="chscag, post: 996384, member: 46727"] Try it on another computer to see if it's readable. If it refuses to be read on another computer, the drive may be toast. Many flash drives (especially the over the counter cheap ones) are not built to last. Never use a flash drive as a permanent storage device. And... do not format it with your Mac. If you do, you will not be able to use it properly on a PC. It will only be Mac useable. Regards. [/QUOTE]
