Cruzer Minis should be automatically formatted to Fat32. There's no way it's formatted to NTFS because, from what I believe, that is a Windows XP file format system. Flash drives (at least some) are universal to Mac and PC, so it can't be formatted to NTFS.
All I did to get my 256MB working was plug it into my comp (PC), right clicked, yadda yadda yadda, format to FAT32. Took like a couple of seconds and worked like a charm.
