  1. It can be done, but the U3 tech is made up of their controller and their dying software platform. The software is outdated, and by emulating the U3 tech, you still wouldn't get any autorun out of it. It is the controller that does the work, not the software.

  2. Yes, I'm serious, if you join and you immediately post several links to your own site for no good reason within 4 posts, that looks to me like spamming.

    It does seem to help keep Hak.5 forum a clean forum, not a link directory. Thanks, Moonlit.

  3. If the hacksaw was on there, it must have been pretty vulnerable to just about any attack. My anti-virus picks up just about every part of the hacksaw, making it very easily detected. I doubt that just the hacksaw did that. It was more likely a mixture of various attacks.

  4. Hmmmmm..... I didn't know that an IDE to USB connector had the included power supply. Anyways, if an older bios doesn't support booting off of a USB drive, then you can make a boot disk. I have seen some that will boot *anything*.

  5. I read that there was so many updates to xp that providing all of the updates in the service pack would be huge. If this is the case, then it only proves that M$ is fucked up.

  6. Is the FileSystem corrupt?

    I think so, because Windows can't see one partition, but Ubuntu can see it fine.

    What kind of partition repair tools are there?

    The thing I was having trouble with was moving the files on Ubuntu.

    I could only mount the hard drive as root, so I couldn't use Konqueror to visualize it. I haven't used linux in a bit, so I can't exactly open up a shell and work on it.

  7. THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED! THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLY AGAIN!

    Short story:

    Computer crashed, and the BSOD I get when I boot is UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.

    Long Story:

    I recently installed SP3, epic fail. Ever since then, I get BSODs for completely stupid reasons, such as my wifi card not authenticating. Anyways, one happened so I rebooted. Once I rebooted I was confronted with the error in the title. I rebooted, hoping it would go away, but it did not. I booted up an ubuntu live cd, and I can access the files, but I can't get them off. I was wondering if anyone had advice on copying the files over to a flash drive, because ubuntu can't see my flash drive.

    What I have done:

    I have mounted the partition successfully. I can copy the files as root, but only using the command line.

    What I want done:

    I want all of my documents, desktop, and other random things off there onto another flash drive.

    Other info:

    I used Kubuntu (the KDE version of Ubuntu) as it is the only live cd that isn't scratched like hell.

    I have multiple partitions, E, and C. I can access E in Windows (on another computer) connected to an external volume, but cant access C on Windows. On Ubuntu it is vice versa.

  8. As far as the computer crashing, I would just recommend using a linux distro for the security... There has to be something that deals with this on linux.

  9. I would think you could delete the U3's drive letter via a command line app, so it can't call data from the U3.

    Example:

    1. User plugs in hacked U3.

    2. Program finds U3, and deletes it's drive letter

    3. Error happens, stopping the data from being run

    You would need to do this in c++ or c, as they have access to the system that c# doesn't.
