How to uninstall Universal Customizer from U3 Drives and Restore Launch Pad back to Original?

Below is the simple steps if your U3 Drive was messed up by Universal Customizer. My U3 Drive is "Toshiba" and Universal Customizer mounted/changed the brand to "San Disk" and Uninstall from San Disk's U3 Launch Pad won't work. So I took a few risky testings :P but I was able to restore my U3 Launch Pad to Toshiba successfullly. Okie let's cut the crap and straight to the point.


1) You'll need a PC with Windows XP (Universal Customizer won't work on Vista)
2) Download this .ISO file (This ISO is only for Toshiba and I extracted from Toshiba U3 Updater)
3)Extract the "Dummy.iso" and "U3CUSTOM.iso" files to Universal Customizer folder (C:\Universal_Customizer\BIN)
4) Run the "Universal_Customizer"
5) It'll restore your U3 Launch Pad to original Toshiba U3 Launch Pad. That's All!

Note> For other brands (such as, Kingston, SanDisk, TwinMos)
- Download the latest U3 Updater from their official sites
- Extract the Updater with WinRAR or WinZip
- Check if there is a folder named "bin" that contains two ISO files ("Dummy.iso" and "LaunchPad.iso")
- Rename "LauchPad.iso" to "U3CUSTOM.iso"
- Replace "Dummy.iso" and "U3CUSTOM.iso" to Universal Customizer folder (C:\Universal_Customizer\BIN)
- Run the "Universal_Customizer" and that should restore your u3.
