U3 smart drives allow you to install program software on them in order to carry these programs with you so that you no longer have to worry about whether a computer has software you are using already installed on it, however, these programs must be U3 compatible. The SanDisk mini Cruzer has a partition on it that will install as a “virtual” CD rom drive and in some cases can cause some problems. I have found that many people have tried to uninstall this so that their smart drives simply act like smart drives, however, it is nearly impossible to do so. U3 developers have gotten so many complaints that they have put out an Uninstall program that will make your smart drive act normally. Click here or visit http://www.u3.com/uninstall to get the download. You can NOT reinstall U3 once it has been uninstalled, so be absolutely sure that you don’t want it before you run this program!
