Ah booo! You're formatting it anyway, so there's no data to lose, and
I can't imagine you'd break it by trying to format it.
Try it in Linux first and let us know how it goes. I never formatted
a USB stick before, and it might be neat.
You can always point-and-click to format it in Windows I'm sure.
