Flash drive not working!

Hi guys,

I used my flash drive (a Corsair Flash Voyager) to put Win7 x64 on my computer, but now when I put it in my macbook, the light glows constantly but it doesn't show up anywhere, not even in disk utility!

Hellllllp please!

Well that sucks bid time! I was planning on getting a 16gb survivor soon anyway but it still seems stupid!

Might be worth putting it back into your PC and going into disk management, deleting the volume(s) and creating them again, then format as FAT32. Something might have gone a little awry and could be fixed by doing that. It has worked for me in the past so definitely worth a go

where is disk management? I have tried searching for it but it won't show itself. I'm running win7 x64

Absolutely. Everything is worth trying just for the sake of eliminating it as a possibility.

If you can't see it in disk management there won't be much else that I can suggest, I was under the impression that the flash drive was working in Windows but not OSX. How exactly did you put Windows 7 on it?

it was through university, my friend gets free licenses from computer science so I downloaded off of the uni site and put it straight on the drive. It doesn't work on my rMBP which has usb 3.0 and my pc which has usb 2
