Mycomputer says my jumpdrive is formatted for a mac..help

[lolafalona33]

I bought a jumpddrive and have saved some letters on it for work. Now
everytime I plug the jumpdrive in my computer, it says " The floppy disk is
not formatted or has been formatted for a Macintosh", which is not true since
all the computers i have used are HP. HELP!!!!

This is not a Word issue and would best be addressed to a hardware group,
however:

1. Saving directly to removable media from Word is likely to introduce
corruption. You should always save to the hard drive and copy to the
removable medium.
2. Unplugging such media without safely shutting down the device can corrupt
the file system.

My guess is that you have done one or both and the device is corrupt. You
should be able to reformat it. I believe these devices are formatted as FAT
(not FAT32) but you should check the instructions before doing so.
