View source for How to format a USB memory stick in FAT32 using a Master Boot Record (not GUID Partition Table)

Windows can not read a disk formatted using a GUID table.

Using ‘Disk Utility’ select the usb memory stick.  
Within the Partition tab select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format.  
Within the Options area, select Master Boot Record (as opposed to the default GUID Partition Table).  

A better format that is truly cross-platform (mac, windows (xp needs a patch) and linux) is ExFAT – also supports very large file sizes.
