Guest Prieto Chulo Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 For an unknown reason to me, my computer see a USB drive as a CD drive. How can I change this?
Guest R. McCarty Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: USB Drive Some new/recent USB flash drives employ a new technology called U3. The drive will appear as both a USB Mass Storage device and also have an entry in the CD/DVD drives category. The technology is designed to allow users to carry applications along with data on the Flash drive. If you don't want U3 capability many vendors provide an uninstall utility.

Or just (re) format it (before putting your stuff on it, obviously). BTDT And make it a basic USB flash drive, without the junk. > "Prieto Chulo" <PrietoChulo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:C0562A17-81EF-4FA4-AD4B-8CFA01437288@microsoft.com... >> For an unknown reason to me, my computer see a USB drive as a CD drive. >> How can I change this?
