You may not be aware that the U3 application itself gives you an uninstall option. Run the Launchpad application, then choose Settings, then choose Uninstall U3, and in a couple minutes it is properly reformatted as a “dumb” USB device. I’m sure the application downloaded from the Sandisk site works fine, but the application was already on my Cruzer USB.

SOLUTION TO U3 CRUZER REMOVAL PROBLEM! Just to comment on U3 Cruzer Micro…ok I have 4GB and unfortunately I also found out on the though way that improper removal of U3 Cruzer series causes serius issue of that computer that was removed from he cannot anymore read or see the stick…And I had extremly important data..thank you SanDisk for forcing me to stress out..but I found an easy solution…
So…first of all computer does see the cruzer but does not read it, basically that means that it has to appear somewhere and that somewhere is on your computer management control -> USB (universal serial bus controllers) and you see your Cruzer under well known yellow question mark – just right click on it and install again -> instalation files are on the stick itself and you can see it and thats all…your data is still there untouched :D

Pirillo, you are a god!

Thank you. “Annoying” is not the word, but the best one for polite society. I got the PNY Attache 1gb at Staples for $14.96 just to carry around Spinrite, and of course was having major heartburn for a $15.00 item that was going to cost me more time to return it to the store for a less “smart” drive. Used the uninstaller, downloaded my program and I’m off!

Watched you on Call for Help many moons ago, glad you’re still arounod to save our as***e*s when we need it.,

[...] I was able to get ReadyBoost working, I think. If there’s an easy way to watch benchmarks, I’m not finding it. Tried looking for a “Benchmarks” option in the Start Menu, but it’s just not obvious to me. I found it once, but I’ll be damned if I can find it again. Tried looking in the most logical places, too – including within the Task Manager. [...]

Thank you, Chris. That damn U3 crap was driving me insane. I watched you all the time on “Call for Help”. You are missed.

Hi Chris:

I think there are a lot of Vista Beta testers out here who want to play with ReadyBoost and see what kind of performance kick we can get from various size keys.

Did the Gnomie tell you (or do you know) why Vista recognizes the PNY Attache 4GB USB 2.0 memory key after connecting and removing it a few times and not the first time? Is it going to continue to recognize it or is going to be an on-again off-again kind of thing?

As for the Cruzer Micro keys, you mention they are high speed. I checked on the ScanDisk site and all I could find was that they were USB 2.0. Do you, or other Gnomies, know how the Cruzer Micro compares with 120X or 190X keys?

What kind of boost, if any, did you notice with the PNY Attache 4GB key? I understand from the documentation that at this point anyway ReadyBoost will only recognize one key at a time. Did you try one of the Cruzer Micro keys and were you able to notice any difference between that result and the result with the PNY Attache 4GB?

Share the knowledge!

Thanks.

information entered while device is inserted and send them to the hacker’s ftp site. For those of you who are also worried about this, you can download a U3 uninstaller here. Simply formatting the device WILL NOT remove U3. Chris Pirillo has his own opinion and a link to another uninstaller, the one I used. I’m not saying U3 is evil (though there are those who do), but I just don’t feel comfortable with it and I never want to steer any of my readers in the wrong direction.
