Make sure that the USB is formatted as NTFS or fat32 filesystem. Otherwise Windows can't read it.
sudo gparted /dev/sdb will enable you to format the usb.
When in gparted program make sure that the size of sab is same as your USB, just to make sure you are using the usb only. Giving wrong device here will erase data from it.
