Mac MDD and USB 2 PCI CARD

Have a strange problem hope someone can help, I put a USB 2 PCI card in my Mac MDD and it was working ok then I plugged my flash drive into it without any problems but then I shut down the mac and without thinking took the flash drive out instead of using the eject option { So use to using a PC } and now it won't detect the flash drive in the USB 2 ports but my keyboard and mouse are detected ok.

the flash drive is detected ok but only in the USB 1.1 ports

Does disk utility see the flash drive ?
It may be as simple as plugging in the flash drive then shutting down the Mac and rebooting.
By the way, any USB stick , flash drive etc should be put away properly on both Macs and PCs before pulling them out .

Tried taking every thing off the flash drive and reformatting on my PC then plugged it into the mac and it detected it ok in the USB 2 ports but then after putting my stuff back on it then tried it again on the Mack and it shows up in disk utility's but not on desktop until I unplugged it and used the 1.1 ports, Also the mac wont shut down if the flash drive is plugged into the USB 2 ports?
