Is there a way to get rid of the backup software that comes with click free hard drives on a CDFS partition.

First of all, it's impossible to remove the partition by formating the drive with disk utilities because it's not seen as a real drive.

I also tried to delete the partition using pdisk (on terminal) :

pdisk /dev/disk2

it told me : "Floating point exception"

(I found out that disk 2 was the name of the drive)


I even tried to wipe everything on the drive with :

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk2

but it told me : Permission denied...



Feel free to ask questions if i'm not being clear enough!
