Is the memory stick formattd with fat or ntfs?

 

If ntfs that will be your problem.

  Mac can read from it but not write to it.

Subject: Formatting thumb drives in Boot camp for use by Mac users

 

Dear All,

    I don't own a Mac yet.  I have several thumb drives I've formatted on my
XP laptop. The fundamental problem with this is that when I bring one of my
thumb drives to my wife's Mac, she can copy a file from it to her computer,
but not from her computer to the drive.  In essence, she can read but not
write on this drive. If I Move to Mac and run Bootcamp, which I don't plan
to do unless I must, will my wife be able to write on one of my thumb drives
that I've formatted while my Mac is running Boot camp, or will we have the
same format incompatibility issue?   

Kevin
