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. Mick M.
