U3 is a virus. It is unsolicited software that produces unwanted results and propagates itself to other computers. This is another example of a Microsoft virus (almost all “computer viruses” are actually MS viruses) which is purported to fix speed issues of MS. Why doesn’t MS fix the problem. DO NOT BUY SANDISK!

Even if mounted, the U3 partition shows up as "unallocated" space, and operations that would format or remove it, or expand the existing partition to include it, are either grayed out or simply do not run. The Sandisk removal tool, which is not included on the drive and must be downloaded, works like a champ, if you have a working Windows installation.

It would appear to do exactly what you wanted done, uninstall the U3 system software and the read only partition from the drive. Why not use the self-contained uninstall?

I own 4 of them and use the U3 functionality on one. They are reliable and durable (titanium ones at least). I own 4 of them and use the U3 functionality on one.
