O.P. Huh?  Possible to have U3 disk, without really having one?
Hi :>

So, here it is.

I want my USB storage disk to be like an U3 disk. I don't know if that is possible. I have no experience with U3. However, I was thinking if it is possible to change the info about the disk, and plausible the files, so that you can have a U3.

Is it possible?
If it is, how?

Thanks, Nitro.
:)

Not really, unless your computer allows autorun from removable discs.  When you insert it, it first installs a CD dive to autorun the launch pad.  If you can figure some way to autorun I may be able to halp on account of getting one for christmas.

It looks like you should be able to just swap some files... :/

A lot of apps, like Firefox, Open Office and such already have (un-official) portable versions which can run on a USB disk without U3, and many smaller apps can run on a USB disk when you just copy the files to it after installing.

I have a disk with U3 support, but removed the U3 stuff pretty quick.
Finish the problem

I know. I have the portableapps suite on my usb, I like it. :)

But I still want to try the U3, because it has some stuff that a normal usb disk doesn't have. :)
