Hello;
I had a friend come over with a USB stick.
I had put Mint linux on his laptop, and now he could not write to
the stick.
I realized it was a Sandisk with their stupid U3.exe stuff on it.
I went through this last year and used a Windows program to remove
the U3 stuff and reformat it.
Is there any way to do this in Linux?
I remember I used fdisk to make it ext2, and formatted it.
It still would not work.
You could use parted <device>, where <device> is probably /dev/sdb
Remove all the partitions, then re-create one as FAT32 if you want to
be able
to read it with a windows system, otherwise ext2.
I just did this with a USB flashdrive that had an extra software
partition.

I have a sandisk USB stick with the U3 stuff on it and I have no problem
reading and writing to the USB stick under F12. I plug the USB stick
in, it shows up on my desktop and up pops the file browser window and i
can copy to/from it just fine. I have the ntfs-3g and fuse packages
installed and it all works.
