Problem with launchpad sandisk cruzer micro 16Gb mem stick (u3)

It doesn't look like this is possible. For your protection, SanDisk did not build in a backdoor or reset feature in the device.

Please see SanDisk's official statement on this feature:

1. Run the launchpad program.
2. Double click on the icon to open up the main windows.
3. Click on Settings and the U3 Launchpad Settings.
   
4. Click on Uninstall tab on the side and then Uninstall U3 Launchpad. Before you do this, make sure all the programs on the flash have been closed and all the explorer windows are closed, too.
   

After uninstallation, the drive has only one partition. The pesky ready only partition with U3 program is gone.

contact the u3 smart drive manufacturer

How do I uninstall U3 from my flash drive Most U3 smart drives come with an uninstall utility that converts the U3 smart drive into a regular USB flash drive. This utility can be accessed from the U3 Launchpad. Open the U3 Launchpad and click on Settings, then select U3 Launchpad Settings and click on the Uninstall tab. Some devices have a link to the Uninstall utility under Help and Support.
If you can not find the uninstall utility on your U3 smart drive you can download it from the following locations:
Remove U3
U3 removal tool for MAC

U3 is the software application launcher, download and replace it with an updated version. This being availibile on www.sandisk.com site. Hope it helps

Your SanDisk Cruzer® Micro SDCZ6-2048 (2 GB) USB 2.0" may be giving problem due to the internal errors.
Therefore 2 GB card may be scaned through anti virus, if problem repeats then format ur card from the computer.
