Can't mount thumb drive

[Steven Friedrich]

Thanks.
I had long ago created a BSD volume on it, so I destroyed it with
gpart destroy -F /dev/da0
then gpart create -s mbr /dev/da0

Win 10 STILL wouldn't format it so I used windows volume manager to create
and format a FAT partition.
I can now mount it and copy stuff to it.

Thanks.
