It has something to do with Mac OSX - quite why it does it i do not know.
I think (if i remember rightly) i fixed it by formatting it on the Mac using the default format setting (obviously backing everything up first). Then it doesnt seem to show up anymore.
If that doesn't work then let me know and i'll see if i can remember what i else i did.

you can just delete them - but i think they will keep coming back.
If you wanted to format it on your Mac - go to APPLICATIONS--->UTILITIES---->DISK UTILITY

what ecactly is formatting what does it change

it basically erases everything and changes the memory into a Mac compatible format. Windows is still able to read the drive without a problem but it should stop the "random" files from appearing.
