Thumbdrive problem...

[expergo]

Hi,

I have a Lexar 256mb thumbdrive that I use on my PC. It's formatted to MS-DOS_FAT32, but when I try to use it on my mac, it says its' not readable and it won't mount. I thought FAT32 was compatible?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Does it show up in Disk Utility or System Profiler?

Shows up in disk utlity but even though the mount button is accesible, when I click it, nothign happens.

Same thing happened with my external fw drive. I had one formatted as fat32 using partitionmagic on pc, and when I plugged it in, it didn't mount either. It said the partition type was MS-DOS_FAT32.

I then tried another hd and it mounted, and for that one it just said fat32.

Strange. I don't know what's goign on.

format it on the mac and see if that works.
