Fred: Unfortunately diskpart does not show removable memory (USB memory stick) as a drive so will not allow you to clear GPT on these devices.As a note, it was a Mac using GUID that created the GPT partition table.If you set the Mac to use MBR rather than GPT it avoids the problem and you can read the key on a Windows XP machine.This was the solution in my particular case.Cheers.

Thanks for sharing
