Thanks Bruce, I forgot to mention that I did reformat the drive yesterday morning at work on my PC. I may try that again today. I did it using the utility that comes with the JumpDrive, but this time I may try it it just with Windows doing it. I had thought to try this on my Mac, but I can't get the machine to boot successfully with it in for me to try.
I also thought the drive could be faulty, but why would it work in two PCs perfectly with no issues at all if it was faulty. Any other suggestions? --- Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Feb 17, 2005, at 8:37 AM, Jason Watkins wrote: > > > Hello all, I have a very strange issue to report > (at > > least very strange to me).
