Did not know what a nook was, I have a breakfast nook..... - but I do
know as a rule, I never ever use a FAT-32 device on OSX for any other
purpose than to move files to a PC. I teach my users to reformat any
new drive from any manufacturer for use by MacOS. And USB-only drives
are so slow I won't buy one much less use it to boot.... but that's
just me.
Are all your Macs on 10.6.4? FAT-32 was not designed for the Mac OS
and the Mac OS was not designed to use FAT-32 as its base file system.
Why not simply format the drive with the appropriate MacOS settings
and be done already? Click "Initialize".
I do not think Xcode (not xCode, by the way) has the problem. It is
accessing the drive through the OSX file system. Mounting is only one
aspect of file system access.

Folks;
I've got a problem that after A LOT of work I've isolated to xcode
3.2.1/3.2.2. .
I recently bought a nook. All Mac's I have access to EXCEPT my
laptop (2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2Gb ram, 10.6.4) would mount the nook
'properly' but the laptop would give me the 'This drive isn't
readable by this Mac .... initialize, or eject' dialog. After
trying to do 'new style' archive and install, I still had the
problem. I then tried an CLEAN install on an external drive and had
no problems mounting the drive. After some more trial and error
discover that the problem followed using Migration Assistant to move
my Applications to the 'new' system. After another archive &
install, I MANUALLY moved my applications over [finder copy], I
again had no problems mounting the drive. I had to re-install xCode
to do my once-every-so-often compile of mozilla and with that re-
install the problem returned and after the 3.2.2 upgrade is still
present.
ANYONE have ANY idea why this is so; or how I can get the nook [a
fat32 formatted usb drive] to mount again??
