I don't know about make but you will definitely need to have the drive formatted for Windows. For XP that means ntfs. Linux can read all Microsoft filesystems but Windows can't read Linux filesystems.

Welcome to the forums!
All the different brands of flash drives I've had would allow the transfering of files either way. FAT32 works pretty well for simple file transfers, in most cases.oz
