Did you format the card under linux (perhaps as ext4)? Last I knew, Windows couldn't handle any filesystems other than its own even if you just wanted to blow away an existing partition.
Hmmm... This used to have NOOBS installed on it, so perhaps. Regardless I think it's been partially formatted because I can't see the files in it like I could when I first plugged it in.
I haven't used the NOOBS install for some time, but if it's anything like the normal raspbian image then you would have a standard VFAT partition for the initial boot, plus an EXT partition for the linux filesystem -- and Windows is probably choking on that partition. You should be able to drop the SD card into either your linux or mac machine and reformat it from either of those (or at least delete all the partitions and then format it on Windows).
