In the "Wishlist", the request has been made for Linux support.
Just so I can understand what's going on here ...
Does "dd /dev/zero /dev/sdx" to the unmounted usb key followed by
repartitioning / formatting work to remove this crap?
It would have to be "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=1" and
I don't know if it'd work or not. Unless there's some hardware flag
on the drive that turns the U3 portion into a read-only physical device
it should work.
Sorry 'bout the lazy "dd" command.
Yes, it would seem that it should work, but people are reporting that
they had to get a "Windows using friend" to fix the thing. I don't
have such a device, but I may in the future (and I don't do Windows),
so I was curious.
Thanks!
John
