[QUOTE="chiste, post: 914058, member: 123193"] No, I'm not in the wrong forum. I'm a Mac user since they where black and white. I have a USB thumb drive I use to carry my PowerPoint Presentations and other staff to the PC world. The problem is that every time I plug my drive on one of those it gets inffected, and often machines with anti-virus software rejects my drive and ejects it. So I'm looking for a way to write protect my drive, to only be readable and no virus can get in. All these made from my Mac. The USB drive is formated as FAT-DOS Maybe same way to create a fake dummy file whith the size of the free space. Any ideas? Thantks Carlos Sorry if my english is not perfect. [/QUOTE]
