tylerjw Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I just had a thought... if vista is making it harder to flash the cd partition would it be easier to do it in linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uda Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 'Something' already exists. I've been using u3_tool to flash my 4GB Cruzer drive on Linux. You can built it to use different USB access subsytems also; I have been using sg without any issues for over a year (despite it being talked down in the readme). If you want to flash >2GB iso's like bootable DVD iso's for example, compile with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 as well. I've only ever flashed my U3 drive on Linux, so I can't say anything on the performance of this tool when built for Windows using spt, or libusb for any OS. Another note, I haven't figured out what the exact mark is yet, but for iso's larger than a certain size, I have to partition the optical drive side 1 byte larger than the iso itself or the subsequent loading bombs out at 99%; not a big issue, but worth mentioning.
