I have a 128meg Sandisk USB 2.0 drive that I've had for several years now. It doesn't seem to want to mount properly in OS X. It works fine in bootcamp and on my 12'' Powerbook G4. However, when I connect it to my Mac Pro it never mounts and I see the following errors in system.log:

May 13 20:29:40 Kermit kernel[0]: USBF: 929.617 AppleUSBEHCI[0x397a000]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 253, timing out!
May 13 20:29:40 Kermit kernel[0]: USBF: 929.999 [0x3b69400] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 4 of hub @ location: 0xfd400000)
May 13 20:29:41 Kermit kernel[0]: USBF: 930.723 [0x3b69400] The IOUSBFamily has successfully enumerated the device

Any ideas? I've tried different ports on my Mac Pro, they all do the same thing. Like I said before, this same USB drive works fine on Windows XP, on the same Mac Pro. Heck, I can even boot my bootcamp partition in VMware, connect it, and use it in Windows. It also shows up in System Profiler under the USB section. The drive doesn't show up in the Disk Utility though.

For those wondering, its formatted in FAT32 already.
