I had this problem with a SanDisk usb drive. Its been years since I did this but If my memory serves me correct I had to go to the SanDisk website and download a program for windows to remove the problem.
I don't know if there is a linux alternative to something like this but I know how annoying it can be. I know there not the same brand but have you tried there website for something like this. I would think they would provide an option to remove the annoyance. Of course google might help as well.
