u3-tool for usb flash drive fails with errors
I have a San Disk micro-cruzer 2GB flash USB drive. I'm trying to use the
u3-tool to remove the u3 software but I'm having no luck.
Output:
phobos:/home/nick# u3-tool -i -D /dev/sdg

Trying this, too:

Or this:

Relevant mount info mount:

/dev/sdg1 on /media/SWEETNESS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)

Any way to get U3 off my disc without finding a Windows box?
