Answer 1

readyboost uses the drive almost as ram to speed up your pc so you wont be able to store files on it..

right click the drive and format as fat32 then use as normal

Answer 2

right click, click format.  

Answer 3

U3, which comes preinstalled on many SanDisk flashdrives, is a way to make a flash drive a 'smart drive'. It is preloaded software. For more info on that you can go to U3.com

To uninstall U3 go to http://www.u3.com/uninstall/

To completely erase the flash drive you can simply reformat the drive. The fastest way to do this in Windows is to insert the drive, navigate to My Computer , right click on the drive and say "Format..." The default options should be fine, hit 'Start', and it should erase the drive. *Be aware that this will wipe out any and all data that is already on the drive*

As a sidenote, most U3 enabled drives have a U3 symbol on the packaging, and the drive itself. Watch out for it if you ever purchase another drive and don't want to run into U3 again.
