I was googling to get a solution for how to delete CDFS partition from my Flash drive. It is so annoying when a program autoruns whenever you plug-in your flash drive and instead of the regular driver letter for flash drive one more drive will show up in My Computer. I have tried formatting and used windows disc manager, Fdisk.. It was all in vain! I have seen this CDFS partition in many of the flash drives which is supplied by a product manufacturer. The CDFS partition will actually contain the device driver in those Flash drives. When you buy a Sandisk Cruzer Flash they are providing you a program called U3 which is actually a useful application has capabilities for Drive security, Antivirus, Supports synchronization between your PC and Flash Drive etc, but remember they have used the CDFS technology to bind these application in to the flash drive.
Believe me am not going to tell you how to create a CDFS partition in your Flash drive but let me show you how to delete it.
1. Download the U3 Removal tool from Sandisk
2. Before you start the application plug your flash drive
3. Run the application and you will be prompted like below
4. Click Next to proceed.
5. Select Yes and Click on Format
After formatting if you open My Computer it will no longer display the CDFS partition.
Believe me am still not going to tell you how to create a CDFS partition in your Flash drive but let me show you how to delete it.
