O.P. 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.

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.

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.
