OT: U3 uninstall (USB thumb drives)

[Nigel Ridley]

I got a Sandisk micro cruzer as a gift and it came loaded with that U3 app stuff. So I 
wanted to get rid of it - difficult - even tried the 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb' 
which didn't get rid of it (I had to 'sudo mkfs /dev/sdb' to put a file system (ext2) back 
on it and then use qtparted to format it to fat32 - I did try 'sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb' 
but it pulled a face).

Anyway I managed it in the end using U3's own uninstaller:

You have to use a Windows box :-(

So if anybody wants to get rid of that annoying stuff, I HTH

Blessings,

Nigel
