U3 System - remove

I was having hard time to find out how to remove the u3 system crap that i've found installed in my sandisk usb stick.

I have read many post and suggestions, many of them proposing to use exe tools. Too bad, I am using linux.

Anyway, i eventually went on this post
http://jimcooncat.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/attempting-to-remove-u3-from-linux/

that basically proposes to echo "1" to the delete file in /sys/class/block/srX/device/
and in /sys/class/block/sdX/device/

(substitute the X with the appropriate number or letter: mine were sr1 and sdc but I won't guess yours are the same)
