Paul, The encryption issue can be addressed by reformatting the drive with the appropriate selection in Disk Utility. I believe the key to resolving your problem here is to correct the situation that prevents you from using Disk Utility on this drive, but there’s a number of possibilities pote

well, you could always use dd. The command I would use is: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ and then let it run. it might take a while to erase, but there will not even be partition information on there afterward. after that, you can use disk utility to repartition and format that usb device. -eric On
