I've got 2 of the Cruzer Micro thumb drives (1GB & 4GB) that I've used for a while with my PC laptops. I have a new Macbook and have been unable to get either one of these to mount and be recognized by my Macbook. I've tried both USB ports and both drives... however neither one shows up on the Mac. Other drives have worked, just not these Cruzer Micros... any thoughts or strategies?

I have heard if you eject your macbook out of a window, it should start to work.
 
Ok ok, try re starting the computer with the drive inserted. If that doesn't work, use a different jump drive. :D :p

Will give the restart a try... and yes I can use other drives, but it's a waste not to be able to use these two at all... which is why I was seeing if anyone had similar issues and/or advice.
 
I have the 2gb cruiser and it works fine.

I've long since formatted it on my PC to get rid of that crap that comes on it though, I don't know if that made a difference.
