There are still some that won't show up - if they are formatted with HFS+. I once knew the secret little
app that is on Winduds that will take care of whatever drive is in position "E" or "F" or whatever the case
may be, and I posted about it - but it will be difficult to find here (and it's possible it might be in the archives
at DM as well - in the last few thousand posts there.
If anyone knows the name of that app ==== PLEASE put it in this thread! It's part of the OS - for when
Format (via Command Line) does NOT see the drive attached.
Be sure to format your thumb back to whatever it originally was. I don't know what format the BIG drives
are shipping as.... can you format something that large with FAT 16?? Or even FAT 32?
32 gigs is the limit for FAT32 when formatted on a PC using M$ software.
