fLUx Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey everyone... I'm just wondering, as I cannot afford a U3 flash drive at the moment, and normal USB sticks dont work, can I burn it to a CD? If so, could somebody advise me on what to change (if anything), and what to burn. Though, actually, is it possible to get it to auto start on a normal USB drive...? Anyhow, thanks in advance! :D fLUx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyedie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 1. you can get a u3 flash drive 256 mb Very Cheap now, like $25. 2. normal usb drives can work... but a little different, you should probably read about the hacksaw in the wiki 3. since you cannot write to a cd partition, you cant do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fLUx Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 lol....yep, I know, but I am poor! (+ I live in the UK, where electrical goods are double the price of the US :!: ) OK, so if I can use a normal USB flash drive, then that would be great! I have read the Wiki, and cannot work out how i could use it on a normal drive! :( Could you give me some links, or step by step help, on what i need to do please? Thanks alot! :) fLUx P.s. why do I need to write to a cd partition? what does the magic - cant I just create an autorun.inf, and autorun go.bat on a CD? or is it more complicated than that?

fLUx Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 OK, so Im alittle confused... If I get the directory made in C:WINDOWS, and all the files moved to it, as well as the files like sbs.exe started, have I done it? Should it work? Thanks... flUx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Couldn't you configure it to auto-run, grab the info it needs, stow it temporarily somewhere, chop it up (if need be), .rar it, then email it out to a preset address? (I think that was one of the techniques) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fLUx Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well, wouldn't that happen after its copied itself to the hard drive of the computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterpyro Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I am sure you can get the hacksaw on a CD. It does not require being written too as it emails everything to you so you could also set up the switchblade to be sent with the Hacksaw stuff i suppose.

gonffen Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 If the box you're using it on has a cd burner you don't need to worry about emails. Just use CDFS(?) instead of ISO/UDF and you'll be able to burn on the fly. It's not exactly fast as I recall but it works. Or you could make it a multi-session disk and have it build the data on the hdd then move it over to the cd. -gonffen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
