Sure.
What I needed was to understand the problem. Its a problem with U3. Sandisk
has a U3 removal tool for use under Windows--easy google search. Sourceforge
also has a U3 tool for linux "U3-tool.sourceforge.net" . The linux tool is
listed as alpha software. Since I have a windows box around here, I used the
sandisk tool. It did the job...just be sure that you back up any files on
the stick before removing the U3 stuff using the sandisk tool.
