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.
-- 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.
