I bought a 156mb usb 2.0 flash drive from walmart and plugged it into
my pc it wasn't detected so I ran XP's hardware setup but still
nothing...I then went and formatted the drive and it worked then about
1 week later it stated having problems, I tried formatting it and it
wouldn't format so I deleted the partition and used the xp cd to
partition it again and it said there was only room for a 68mb
partition instead of the origional size...I rebooted and tried again &
then it said the max was 20mb for a partition...

*no software was included
*OS is Xp home edition

Can anyone help??

I would say that your first problem is that you can't run XP on a Mac
system.

I assume, of course, that this was a Mac system, considering the
newsgroup you posted to.

(Your second problem is run-on sentences and lack of punctuation. :-))
