yes it comes in as a seperate drive

ok i hope you have nothing important on it
when you see the drive, right click on it and go to where it says format and click on that do not do a quick format
you may have the option to change it from fat to fat32 or vice versa
just leave that for now
lets know how it goes

everything freezes i can't click on anything. i can move the mouse but it has the hour glass icon, everything locks up. The cruzer blinks a red light also, not sure if that helps.
