Fdisk is for partitioning the disk. Then you have to put a file
system on the partition(s) -- that's what mkfs is for.

Your best chances are if you have a MSDOS partition table with
one primary partition, and put a VFAT file system on that.

Here [1] a thread with the same question and some answers. Don't
hesitate to come back if anything is unclear.
