Hi;
I use vfat:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 2041 MB, 2041577472 bytes
61 heads, 60 sectors/track, 1089 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3660 * 512 = 1873920 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x04030201
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 1089 1992840 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
In fdisk set the type to "c", and make it active.
Then "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX" to format it.
