Take a look at
	http://u3.com/support/default.aspx#CQ3
for Windows or
	http://communities.sandisk.com/sandisk/board/message?board.id=u3&thread.id=1066
for MacOS-X

for a program that will convert the stick to a single device by  
removing the "U3" programming from it (and, as a side-effect, wipe it  
clean -- So *backup* your data before you try it!)

Unfortunately, it requires Windows or MacOS-X, no Linux version that I  
can find.  But it works.  I've used it several times.
