I want to format a 1GB Sandisk Cruzer. The U3 files on it are protected, so I can't delete them, or format the drive. I tried that program "unlocker", but it doesn't work. I know that there is a program out there that works because I formatted one of these about 6 months ago, I just don't remember the name of the program that I used. Any help???

The Sandisk standalone uninstaller can be found here. I run a Mac and didn't need (or want) the U3 stuff. The uninstaller is for PC so I had to use a friends laptop to run program then just reformat as you would any drive http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1415
