I can't see how you would be able to format it from within the VM.

Format it from XP, then share it so it can be accessed as a shared network
drive from within the VM. This works in Vista, so it should be OK in XP.

With Microsoft Virtual PC, virtual machines can't access USB devices
like a flash drive.
