I removed U3 from FD, but it has old name still?

yes i see you have it formatted NTFS not FAT32

Then this may be a U3 thing,, maybe saved on some firmware...

There are generally 2 ways (that I know of) to name a usb device

The General Tab and an autorun.ini file on the root of the drive, which is a hidden file.
Are you showing hidden files?

I might be, depends what folder... how & where would I enable hidden folders & where would I find this autorun.ini file?

Right now there isnt a single file showing on the drive...

Yeah better for cross platform linux, mac & pc

folder options in control panel

Tepid said:

In Explorer
Hit Alt
Click Tools
Folder Options
Second Tab
Uncheck both boxes related to hidden files
Click OK,
Open USB device and see what is there.

Ok yeah I had hidden folders showing.

There isnt a single thing on the drive after I removed U3 & did a full format

Try the USBDeview app that I gave a link to before
Try using that app to uninstall the U3 device and then reinsert the USB stick again
There might be something in the Driver Registry entries that is sticking that this tool may help remove.

Hmm it goes through the motion... but doesnt take it out of the list?
