What disk format to use?

[RaceJunkie]

I just bought a new 8gb flash drive and I want to format it for my mac. I see several different options when choosing format so I wanted to be sure I was using the correct one.

Also I have another drive that I would like to use with both my mac at home and my pc at work. Is this possible?

FAT32 is the standard format for flash drives...it will work on both PCs and Macs.
