just got a sandisk cruzer usb flash drive, so i can move data between several macs.
when i bring it back to the original mac...
there are extra files on it, .dat, etc etc (sorry, deleted them before i copied the names down).

seems like osx files, invisible usually.
but not on the flash drive?

any thoughts, tips, suggestions??


thanx

I actually was wondering about the same thing... so i'll give you a bump too.

Not to take over your thread... but should I be able to transfer files from my mac to a PC too?
