Comment 8 for bug 534070

I pulled my USB stick apart and got the chipset numbers CBM2090. Then I was able to Google a piece of windows software to manage the drive, doesnt appear to have given me a virus :-). I was able to change the drive sizes, format and write to both partions. U3-tool still gives me this error with the new layout:-

username@ZZZ:~$ sudo u3-tool -D /dev/sde
[sudo] password for username:
u3_partition_info() failed: Device reported command failed: status 1
u3_data_partition_info() failed: Device reported command failed: status 1
u3_chip_info() failed: Device reported command failed: status 1
u3_read_device_property() failed for property 0x03: Header of property 0x0003 could not be read.
u3_read_device_property() failed for property 0x0C: Header of property 0x000C could not be read.

Neither Kingston or Scandisk software work with my USB stick since they only work with there own devices.

Tony.
