    Oh... I never had that issue, I presume its plugged in when you run that utility?

    It was installed on mine.

    Sounds like you might have got a dud, let me find my one and I'll do a few tests.

    Edit: Yup you must of run that without the stick plugged in as I just tested it now without it

    Nah.. I'd say this happened when I was messing about with it on the GNOME Partition Editor.

    I formatted it as HFS hoping it wouldn't pop up the partition anymore.. it's not popping up but it is still showing as another partition.

    No worries.. I'll live with it!`

    That utility can format the whole stick for you.

    Yeah, I re-formatted (using Windows) the primary partition on the disk (7.64GB) as FAT32 (which is what it originally was) and formatted the security partition on the disk (2MB) as FAT, which is what it originally was.

    But UFDUtility.exe still won't recognise it (gives the same error as indicated above).

    There is an icon in the system tray for it but it does nothing!

    Found plenty of results in Google dealing with the same problem... but if only I could find one in English! :D
