Does it show up under Device Manager or (under Admin Tools on Windows) Computer Management > Disk Management?
If it does then just select it and format. Otherwise have a look at Disc Util (?) on OSX and see if you can format it FAT/FAT16/FAT32.

It's not part of system pref, instead it's under your Apps > System Tools (from what i remember) directory. Just make sure you formatted it as FAT (or one of the variations) otherwise Windows won't see it (once on Windows you can then format it NTFS if you wish).
