Well, lightly toasted anyway.
But permanently toasted.
I always try to eject flash drives when I'm done because I've lost a couple in the past. Recently I failed to, and there was much weirdness when using it. I couldn't drag and drop more than one file at a time. Usually I Cmd-A and drag a bunch to another window. I could drag them to the desktop but not another window.
And if I tried, then when I moved the cursor up and down, all the files would be unselected and reselected as the cursor passed back and forth. Then drag them all to a window would unselect all but the one the cursor was on... And it wouldn't copy over.
Restarting the mini didn't help. I ran Disk Repair on the USB drive, didn't help. I repartitioned the drive- it was one partition, and I selected 1 partition and engaged. The result was one partition (GUID'd already) but with a dark blue area displayed at the top of Disk Utility's volume graphic. It said my newly NnP'ed volume was a 32G with 26G available.
Did the NnP thing again and I got someting like 30.19 available. I'm good for two weeks or so and I did it again. This time the dark matter stayed and I'm down to 26G available. So I've got to a) do some shopping and b) put a DO NOT PULL yellow on it.
