What I needed was to understand the problem. Its a problem with U3. Sandisk has a U3 removal tool for use under Windows--easy google search. Sourceforge also has a U3 tool for linux "U3-tool.sourceforge.net" . The linux tool is listed as alpha software. Since I have a windows box around here, I used the sandisk tool. It did the job...just be sure that you back up any files on the stick before removing the U3 stuff using the sandisk tool.

Another trail to follow,from one time I had a USB dongle to connect to the
internet. Its a long time ago, so pls check everything back before applying:
chmod a+w /dev/ttyUSB2
echo at+zcdrun=8 > /dev/ttyUSB2
Be sure to replace ttyUSB2 by your device.
To get back the CD part of the device, do the same, but replace 8 by 9

AFAIK the Sandisk Cruzers are U3 Sticks and i think the U3 System is shown as a CD-Drive and the storage as usb drive. There is a Tool from Sandisk to disable the U3 functionality and use the sticks without this software, but it's a windows executable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Have a look at usb-modeswitch.
From man:
Several new USB devices have their proprietary Windows drivers onboard,
especially WAN don‐
gles. When plugged in for the first time, they act like a flash
storage
and start installing
the driver from there. If the driver is already installed, the storage
device vanishes and a
new device, such as an USB modem, shows up. This is called the "ZeroCD"
feature
Hope it helps

My system is Lenny 5.02, but the same problem exists on an old Fedora
Core 3 system, so it is not a Debian problem, per se.
I just bought a 3 pack of Sandisk Cruzers (4Gb). When I insert any of

By "the system", do you mean lines in dmesg, or the icon on your
desktop?
Working around
this is easy, but what is causing the system to mis-identify the Cruzer?
The only things on the cruzer are the files that automatically run under
windows ("autorun.inf, LaunchU3.exe" which put a different way of
unounting the device on the screen, and a System subdirectory and a
Documents
subdirectory).

I bet there's a bug in udev, or maybe usbutils.
