With Disk Utility running where you can see the flash drive, use Help in the top menu bar. Enter something like "format drive." That should give you all the information you need to proceed. I am using OS X 10.5.2 Leopard, but I believe the older versions give the same info. Look for the page "Erasing a hard disk or volume." That process will work for the flash drive. Go for the Mac OS Extended option. With a flash drive, you will not likely gain advantage from the "Journaled" option.
