USB Thumb Drive won't appear in 10.3.3

i got a fix for the thumb drive issue (not sure about the ext HDD issues). if you are using a Lexar secure jump drive, Lexar can email you a file called STUC.dmg that is apparently a driver for 10.3.3 after i installed the file, my thumb drive mounts properly (even after reboot). i went to the live chat supprt section here and explained my problem. they emailed me the file, and all is well now. hope this helps those with Lexar thumbdrive problems.
Work for my ScanDisk Cruzer Mini 256MB USB 2.0. I plug it to the cinema display usb port. No driver required.
Post update to 10.3.3

well i've backed up my important data and going to give apple a call tomorrow after school. i'm worried that i may have to reinstall OS X...i really don't feel like going through that again, it's just a pain to do it.MOFS said:
Not exactly the same problem, but take it for whatever it's worth. Last week I unplugged my Memorex USB2 thumb drive without unmounting it. After that it wouldn't mount on my iBook, but it showed up in disk utility. It worked fine on other computers, all running 10.3.3. Yesterday I got it to mount after zapping the PRAM and resetting the open firmware. It might help those of you having this problem. It can't hurt.
to everyone having problems with a particular media, i would call the manufacturer of whatever media you are using. Lexar was aware of the problem and had a fix for it, so that helped me. i am not sure Apple would have been able to. good luck to everyone, i feel your pain.
I've got a 1gb Lexar Jumpdrive. It works fine on my G5. It works fine on my Powerbook G4, but sometimes not if the computer has been sleeping. I've noticed that sometimes, if I wake my computer up from sleep and plug in the JumpDrive, the computer does not recognize it, no matter how long I let it sit there. I end up rebooting and sure enough, the JumpDrive mounts after that. I wish they would fix that problem as I use sleep mode a lot!
my key drive works great (USB 2)...
one thing to note is to remember to NEVER format a flash drive. you will mess it up really bad and i don't know of a way to fix that. if anyone does... that would rock.

This Should be of ENORMOUS help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After much frustration, I solved my USB problems with 10.3.3
Go into: System/Library/Extensions
Locate these files: Avid_SCSI.kext, Avid_SCSI_RBC.kext
Hold down the command button and drag them to your desktop.
Plug in your thumb drive. Restart.
Hope this helps for everyone or anyone.
