How do you uninstall a u3 flash drive?

Do you mean uninstalling the U3 partition of the flash drive so its just used for memory? If that's the case, Ive already done that on a few drives. What you need to do is open the U3 Launchpad menu, go to Settings > U3 Launchpad Settings > Then on the right side of the window that pops up click Uninstall. Then click the 'Uninstall U3 Launchpad' button. That will uninstall the U3 software from the flash drive and give you all memory to that flash drive for storing files. Good luck!

Can you upgrade a USB 2 Hard drive to USB 3?

You can probably take the drive out of the USB 2 enclosure and put it in a USB 3 enclosure giving you the benefit of the newer spec and electronics. This will not make the drive behave any different itself (won't spin faster etc.), but you will have the faster 3.0 interface, and thus thoughput. The drive itself is not the performance bottleneck (not by any stretch), but rather the USB interface.

Happy speedups!!
