Hey Fellas,

One day last week I was using my 16GB USB Drive as a go between from my Mac to the PC at work running Windows 2000. I have been doing this for months. For some reason I pulled out the USB drive before it ejected properly and then couldn't be recogonized in either the Mac or Windows 2000. When I put it in an XP Machine it recognized it as a USB Drive, but when I went to open it in my computer it said it was a removable media and to insert a disk. I went to try to format it and the recover the data but I can't format it because it thinks that it is removable media and there is no disk. Please help!! I need this info!!
