I suspect your thumb drive was written (initiated) on a Windows machine? The file capability between Mac & Windows is slightly different. Mac can run a Windows formatted drive, but might not be able to access all file information.
If you're getting a chime, your thumb drive is being recognized by your Mac (doesn't mean it can read it). Here's what to do. Rename the thumb drive, while it's plug into your Windows computer. Name it something weird, like .... "WEIRD".
Plug it into your Mac & wait for the chime. Once you hear the chime, select the "Magnifying Glass" on your Menu bar, type in "WEIRD" and it will find your thumb drive.
If you get more specific on what your ultimately goal is and the software involved, I can probably tell you how to do it.

I was able to use the thumb drive on my PC and copy all my bookmarks, then put the thumb drive into my Mac and it worked fine. So, I erased the bookmarks from my thumb drive. Now when I put the thumb drive into the PC a bell chimes to let me know it recognizes the thumb drive "but I can't find the thumb drive to transfer items from the PC to Mac.
I'm sure I'm not explaining this very well.
