[H-GEN] using a USB thumbrive with Linux

Hi all

I have access to a 512M JetFlash USB thumbdrive that I'd like to use with 
Linux. I've never tried to do anything like this before on Linux.

I did modprobe usb-storage as suggested by a website that I found (brave 
person that I am...) but I'm wondering if because this has been formatted on 
a Windows box (and I can r/w it on my Windows box) it's unsuitable for Linux.

Any suggestions/advice appreciated, and if I should be undoing the above 
command somehow, please tell me how.  ;-)

thanks a lot
David
