SanDisk Cruzer U3 Removal
For anyone having problems removing the U3 program on their SanDisk drive, please note that the removal program does not appear to work on a Vista machine. I was having problems running the removal (both LaunchPad -> Device Settings and the removal software provided on SanDisk Support site). This appears to be a problem with Vista re-detecting the drive mid-way through the removal, crashing the program in the process. Plugging it into a Windows XP machine and running the software did the trick though. U3 removal software from SanDisk Support
