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
u3_partition_info() failed: Device reported command failed: status 1
u3_data_partition_info() failed: Device reported command failed: status 1

Trying this, too:

phobos:/home/nick# u3-tool -p 0 /dev/sdg

 the data partition.
I repeat: ANY EXCISTING DATA WILL BE LOST!

Are you sure you want to continue? [yn] y

Or this:

phobos:/home/nick# u3-tool -p 0 /dev/sdg1

WARNING: Loading a new cd image causes the whole device to be whiped. This

 the data partition.
I repeat: ANY EXCISTING DATA WILL BE LOST!

Relevant mount info mount:

/dev/sr2 on /media/U3 System type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
/dev/sdg1 on /media/SWEETNESS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)

df lists: 

/dev/sr2                  5590      5590         0 100% /media/U3 System
/dev/sdg1              1993912   1557264    436648  79% /media/SWEETNESS


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