      If you don't want U3, you could try their uninstall utility which will format the drive.

      Do you want to do this? (you cannot get U3 back after this)

        Any way to do it an keep the u3?  I kind of use it as some incase of scanning needed.  Such as if theres no antivirus an such.

        I suggest trying out the other USB and see if formatting works or not.

        Did you know you can run portable programs without U3?

        I've personally found that U3 is an incredibly inconvenient piece of software, especially in the work/school environment where the computers want permission to run such a program. (Lucky me, I know the Administration password for the school computers... I made note of the new one they are going to use this year as well...)

        Also, the "password" software is just the worst of it... since if you go on a computer without the right permissions, you cant access your data.
        Not to mention, it does make the "loading" of the drive slower, requiring more advanced device loading, etc.

          working it out to send it to them the data isnt important any more.  However I recall a formatter of some sort it got my other one working.   ;)

            I went to the main site here http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1354 think that this is what I used.  I was googling it wrong so maybe I can get it working.
