On both mac and windows the drive is not
recognized at all.
Even as a device in general. It’s like I’m sticking
in a stick of gum in the USB port.
Is from sandisk. And what I did, as smart as
I am, saw hidden files, some including exe files, inf files, I think, and deleted them all except for the actual data stored.
The data’s not so critical as it’s some older backup, but would like to get the drive back to use…
Thought the files were like virus and deleted them…
But there are no hidden files on a usb drive that windows requires. So this sounds very strange. I have often deleted the mac files from a usb drive after transferring something.
Oh wait… I once did a similar thing many, many years ago and those files were for some auto startup stuff and some software for backup or decryption thing and that messed up the drive. I think I chose to format that one back then.
