twsSentinel Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hi there, Just wondering if there was any users with an Ativa U3 flash drive. I used the "Universal U3 Launchpad Hacker" to flash the partition, and now the LaunchPad will not display! Anyone have a clue what I can do?!? The usb drive still works, but only opens as a folder. Helllllp!!! :) How come U3 doesnt release the original LaunchPad or each manufacturer. Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks! -Sent Quote
twsSentinel Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 After doing some support search on U3.com ... I see that there is no LaunchPad.exe in the cd drive. What happened to it? .. Can I get it back? Quote
twsSentinel Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 SOLUTION For those who have had this problem, for those who do in the future. I've found a temporary/permanent solution. If you happen to lose the U3 LaunchPad.exe, and you do not have a SanDisk, or Memorex, read below to get your LaunchPad working again. FIRSTLY, BACKUP YOU U3 Drive!!! 1. Download Universal U3 LaunchPad Hacker AND Unzip http://www.hak5.org/packages/files/Universal_Customizer.zip 2. Download this SanDisk LaunchPad provided by moonboy33 on these forums. http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4018 Here´s the normal Version (I think it´s 1.2.0.5):http://rapidshare.com/files/6607188/Launch...ew_original.rar Here´s the blue version: http://rapidshare.com/files/6608187/LaunchPad_new_blue.rar 3. Unzip the 3 files (autofun.inf, LaunchPad.zip, LaunchU3.exe) to the Universal U3 LaunchPad Hacker -> U3CUSTOM folder. 4. Run "ISOCreate.cmd" found in the "Universal U3 LaunchPad Hacker" folder. 5. Run Universal_Customizer.exe Thats it!!! Once you're instructed to plug the FlashDrive back in, after it's done flashing, you'll see the LaunchPad come back up! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE! I haven't done much testing yet to see if the SanDisk LaunchPad differs from your hardware manufacturers'. In my case, I have an Ativa U3 Flash Drive and am using the SanDisk LaunchPad. Will update here if anything is incompatible; so far, so good though! Quote
