NS2-

If you have Disk Utility running, does the flash drive show up there
when you plug it in? If so, you might just need to initialize it. To
ensure it can be read on other machines including Windows, I suggest you
use the "MS-DOS File System" format.

I've had a problem with some flash drives when plugged into the
Macintosh keyboard's USB socket. However there is usually an error
message that indicates insufficient power is available for the device.
The solution would be to either plug into one of the main USB ports, or
into a hub that has its own power supply.

No, there's no sign of it in Disk utility.
I've also tried it on two separate Windows machines. Same erratic type
there. No difference when plugging it via a USB hub or directly to a
USB socket.

So I think I'll return it for a refund.
