![]() ![]() It is used by using device manager to update the removable drive's driver and installing the filter driver instead of the generic one. It's known as the "Hitachi Microdrive" filter driver, and it's been around for some time. However, there's a software-based workaround which will let the drive appear to Windows as a fixed drive. yeah, some drives don't allow the Removable Media Bit to be flipped in hardware, and it sucks. I am so frustrated at this point I'm seriously just tempted to buy a small WD Passport drive that does how up as fixed to do this shit off of. So techsupport, if anyone can offer me any advice. ![]() I found someone talking about a linux command working (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1 count=1) but others claimed that it made their flash drive unreadable. Now, Lexar has made a tool to do that for their drives, and some people have claimed it works on other flash drives, but it does not on mine (nor my Kingston DataTraveler). I've did a lot of research on this, a lot, and apparently the only thing I can do is "flip the removable bit" that exists in the firmware of the flash drive. Windows (and the installers) do not pick up any partitions past the first one on a flash drive. I've loaded GRUB4DOS onto it to use as a bootloader, and I'd really like to be able to partition it off for multiple windows installers/my windows to go file. You see, I recently acquired a Patriot Memory Supersonic Magnum 64gb flash drive. I do not expect you to help me, since apparently no one really can, but if you do I shall reign down upon you anything you ask for you. ![]()
