USB Errors

So my 32 GB flash drives are having some issues. They seem to work fine with OS X, but when I try to move/use them on Windows, I get a format error. This started happening recently, and I'm not really sure why. Every time I plug my drives into the Windows machine I get the message that they need to be formatted before they can be used. And after being formatted they are only 200mb. Is this a sign that my flash drives are dying or something?

Probably windows going ape :P

If it works on OS X then its probably fine just that windows dosent like it

EDIT: On windows I was ALWAYS told to format my usb and when I did it was like 7.2 gbs even though its 32gb and now on Ubuntu its completely fine in fact its almost full and the data on it is fine
