After all, it isn't as though the two threads were started by the same
OP. Um... err... well, scratch that. :-)

Since AES was the OP in both instances, I would surmise that he was
aware of the thread and not satisfied with the results.

A fair surmise. And sometimes -- in Usenet, and in marriage -- things
do get better the second time around.

I don't believe there's any way to get rid of the U3 stuff
UNLESS you take the flash drive to a PC running Windows and
delete it that way. Until you do that, the U3 partition will
appear on your Mac desktop and even Disk Utility won't be
able to get rid of it.

I had the same problems when I picked up a Sandisk 4gig
flash drive. My solution was to take it back to the Circuit
City where I bought it, and have the tech guy there plug it
into a Windows box and run the routine (I think it's
actually one of the U3 applications) that removes the U3
partition. Once completed, the U3 partition is gone and the
U3 software is stored in a folder on the flash drive. I then
was able to use Disk Utility to do a complete
re-initialization to Mac format, after which the U3 stuff
was finally gone for good.
