I have a Memorex Mini 2GB Traveldrive. I've had this for a while but recently it seemed slow when transferring documents and thing, so I reformatted it with Disk Utility. It seems faster now, but I tried using it on my friends laptop running Windows Vista and it says it doesn't recognize it and needs to format. Is there a way to reformat this again to be used on both platforms because I need for school also.

Format it for FAT32. It sounds like you have it formatted for HFS rightnow, which is Mac only.

Ok, I went back to disk utility to try to format it for FAT32, but I don't see how to do it. Any help on how would be appreciated.

In disk utility, select MS-DOS as the format when you Erase.
