I am trying to format a 8GB flash drive to a UDF format so I can store files greater than the 4GB limit of fat32 system. I also want to use this drive over multiple OS's that may or may not have NTFS/Fat32 support.

I used mkudffs from the linux udfstools package and it formatted the drive fine I was able to read/write to it using the linux but it wont read under XP (xp has a readonly UDF driver).

Can anyone help me out and tell me what settings to use so I can at least read the drive under XP. The mkudffs command that I used was

# mkudffs -r=0x0201 --media-type=hd -u16 /dev/sde1

I believe Windows will only look for ISO9660 or UDF filesystems on optical media.
