Message: <blockquote data-quote="chas_m" data-source="post: 996831">The problem here is (most likely) that you are pulling the memory stick out without ejecting it, thus corrupting the directory. Eventually the stick will become unusable unless you stop doing that.Memory sticks/thumb drives are like any other removable drive; on Mac *OR* pc, they have to be ejected properly or there is a risk of data loss.The right way to remove a mounted memory stick is to drag it to the trash, wait for any activity (usually indicated by a flashing light on the stick) to stop, then remove it. Alternatively you can select the mounted stick by clicking on it ONCE, then press the eject key (or right-click and choose "eject").</blockquote>
