fokuslee Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have two questions. 1. I bought a Memorex TravelDrive. I found out later that there is such a thing called Memorex TravelDrive U3. Is there a way to install the U3 software and the 4mb fake cd parttiton on my normal TravelDrive? How legal is this? This would make a nice hack for hak5's next eps IMHO. 2 I am thinking about putting linux on my usb. Which distro is compatible and easy to use? I am a linux nub. Currently i am looking at DSL and Puppy and popcorn/slax. Which one is better for a nub like me? eagerly waiting your inputs thx a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Wrong section of the forums... but do not double post, so one of the forum mods or admins will probably move this thread. basically the answer is NO. a non U3 drive can't be made into a U3 drive.

remkow Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I thought so too, but in this post it is being done, and he's using the same type of USB drive you have, so you might give this a try: http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 try running the U3 Hack or the Universal Conversion ... the worse thing really that could happen short of the drive getting trashed is it to tell you NO its not a U3 ... else really give it a shot ... thats how I found mine was almost on accident ... the Drives I am using for the U3 conversion mention is a Generic non Traveldrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
