Good Morning everyone. I have just received a new memory stick and can't remember how to format it. Have system 10.4.10 Imac 7.1
Any ideas ???
Thanks   Barry Johnston.

Hello Barry,

What size Memory Stick is it?
Is it  USB 2 speed bus thumb drive?

Usually thumb flash drives are already formatted asMS-DOS (FAT32)

When the thumb drive is mounted, open Disk Utility in Applications > Utilities and select the thumb drive in the left hand pane.
At the bottom of the window what format does it claim the drive is?

Cheers,
Ronni


Thanks Ronni. The dialog box that comes up is called Toshiba TransMemmory Media. The bottom of the window gives Disc Description, Connection Bus, Connection Type, USB Serial No., Total Capacity, Write Status, SMART Status, and Partition Scheme. There is no mention of the format. I did however see the format somewhere else(can't remember where I saw it now), which said it was formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32). Where to next!!!!

Thanks   Barry

Hi Barry,

Click on the volume of the drive (under the Toshiba Media) in the left hand pane.

Cheers,
Ronni
