If the drive has U3 installed, it must be removed prior to installing aTV Flash.

Most U3 smart drives come with an uninstall utility that converts the U3 smart drive into a regular USB flash drive. This utility can be accessed from the U3 Launchpad. Open the U3 Launchpad and click on Settings, then select U3 Launchpad Settings and click on the Uninstall tab. Some devices have a link to the Uninstall utility under Help and Support.

If you can not find the uninstall utility on your U3 smart drive you can download it from the following locations:

I got an orange colored 512MB one from Office Depot for $7. It was branded with the Office Depot name. Purchased it June 2008 in NC.
