Russell,
It read to me as if you were trying to install OSX on the device ---
file a bug report I guess.

Gary, et al.;
Sorry forgot to mention that a Nook is an ereader from B&N. Most
of the other Mac's I have access to are 10.5.x, there are two that
are 10.6.x, both are WITHOUT Xcode installed; and on ALL of the
other Mac's the drive mounts properly. The Nook OS expects the
'drive' to be FAT32 formatted, you attach the device to your
computer to put ebooks and other data on it [music, wallpapers, ..
ect. .
As I said after a LOT of trouble I had the device mounting
correctly; TILL I re-installed Xcode. Stock 10.6.4 mounts it with
no problem, install Xcode, no longer mounts!

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??
