Hey guys I just got my hands on a new flash drive, a Kingston Datatraveller 8GB DT110.

It worked a day ago, but now it’s not detected on any XP or mac machine. I’ve tried re-installing USB ports and clean Windows installs, but no detection at all.

Interestingly, I know the device is powered because a green status light keeps flashing on the drive, just no workies. Does anyone know a remedy to get the device to appear or is the drive totally boned?
