Try using file explorer, if you see a "D" drive this should be your thumb drive, you can remove it to make sure. Once you plug the drive in again, reformat the drive, then you should be able to copy the program over, but as I stated before I doubt it will run on the MAC, unless this is a MAC program you downloaded.

Tinker is right of course, as far as I know Windows.
What likely happened, when you plugged the drive into your Mac, it was (sort of) re-formated, which can make some of your data hard to get at (corrupted files?).
If you initiate a Mac Drive (Thumb or otherwise), I think you get a choice of how to format the disk and you want to use FAT32 as the format (I haven't done it in a while and don't want to reformat a thumb drive to experiment).
Also, if you renamed the thumb drive on your Mac, Windows might not recognize it. Windows & Mac OS use different "naming" conventions and you have to be careful.
From what I know of Windows, TInker's solution to finding it on your Windows machine should work, but I hardly ever use Windows, so I really don't know enough to give advice on that side of the equation.
