You can use the builtin Windows tools. I used Disk Management to create a simple volume in what showed as unallocated space, formatted it as FAT32 and exited Disk Management. Windows now saw the drive but wanted to format it again. After doing that second FAT32 format, I copied my backup of my Kobo's internal storage back to the drive and all seemed to be okay.

Unfortunately, I did this about 5 preview builds back and it broke again a few weeks later so I'm not that optimistic that this is a permanent fix for the problem now that I've done it under the Anniversary release.
