 After killing a bunch of USB sticks; and knowing that we can't force kids
 to unmount, we should have the ability to recover these bad sticks.

 One thought is to make it easy to reformat a stick from the XO. (kids
 might not have a PC locally that they can reformat USB sticks with; and it
 is not available from many MACs).
