USB sticks - CALL for help, I need info on the devices you own Options

[jaclaz]

As a future expansion of my USB Pendrive booting pages:
http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.n...B/USBstick.html
http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.n...SB/USBfaqs.html

I plan to contribute to the community a HOWTO about changing the "Fixed" vs. "Removable" state of USB sticks.

I have solved the problem with my sticks, (OTi2168 controller) but at this point I need informations on other devices, see this:
http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...ic=14181&st=869

What you can do if you are willing to help:

1) Download and use on the key this tool:
http://www.wbj3000.com/checkudisk.rar
post all the info gathered

2) download and try this other tool:
http://www.cososys.com/lockiteasy.html
(hopefully it should recognize the controller)
(look In left part of the splash screen, under "Current USB drive")
post all the info gathered

EDITED: it seems like the above ONLY works with OTi Controllers, following points are re-numbered accordingly:

2) post the exact Manufacturer, Model, whatever is physically written on your USB stick, like name, serial number, etc.

3) have a close look at your stick under a strong light, on a large amount of keys it is possible, with a magnifying glass, to read the actual make/model of the Controller Chip inside it, post this info

4) If you happen to have, or know where to get, a "Production Tool" a "Recover Disk" or similar software, post info about it


Maybe, with the help of many members, it will be possible to make a correct list of correspondence and find the related tools.

Thank you in advance.

No, but you can upload the image to a FREE server, like:

and post a link here, that would be much appreciated, expecially if you can also take a photo of the stick.

Hi jaclaz,

I have a tool called EM-UD-Vers. 1.0 for an older small USB 128MB stick as password utility. If you like I send it to you via e-mail (here is not my old 128 MB stick tested but my 1GB Tinydisk).

Written on it is "extremememory USB 2.0 1GB" (that's all).
----------------------------------------------------------

CheckUDisk.exe ->

Name: USB Mass Storage Device (USB2.0)

----------------------------------------------------------

The LockItEasy.exe ->

was not working proper, after an hour I just disconnected the stick . But the stick is still "alive" ´

Best regards Bernhard

[jaclaz]

It seems like Tinydisk is a trademark of Veritech:
http://www.veritech.com.tw
http://www.veritech.com.tw/download.htm


I'll have a look at their utilities and drivers to see if I can "steal" some informations.

Could you please check if the image here:
http://www.gobeyondltd.com/products/results.asp?id=38
or the image here:
http://alisveris.tr.net/product.php?ID=153247
represent that key, or it is of this other kind:
http://www.shop4memory.com/products/usb-drive-tinydisk.asp

or is it this "extremememory" kind:
http://www.extrememory.de/
(please post a link to an actual image of the key you have)
To me it looks like they are marketing the Veritech ones....
...the classical example of how NOT to find a format utility...


About the utility you have, yes, please send it to me via e-mail:

I just wondered how something like THIS can be made (I mean pasting an image in a post):
http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=15751&hl=

Your link could be useful for other occasions, anyway.

For now, if you're really interested in all details of my USB storage devices (including photos) these links are even better:

Hi jaclaz,
my stick can be found under http://www.shop4memory.com/products/usb-drive-tinydisk.asp. It looks exactly like these.

The tool is on it's way to you.

Best regards

I just wondered how something like THIS can be made (I mean pasting an image in a post):

You insert a tag in the body of your post, by pressing the 8th button from left in the tool bar you get when posting:
1 = Bold
2 = Italic
3 = Underlined
4 = Stroken
5 = Text color
6 = Insert Link
7 = Insert Email
8 = Insert Image
9= Quote
10 = Code

then you give to the popup full Http address of the image.

An example:
you will see something like the following, which is actually written in the post:

CODE

but once it is posted, it will appear as:

@Jaclaz,

Remember this, this and this information about SanDisk Cruzer Micro 1 Gb. Please, tell me if you need any more.

Forte abbraccio ,

Kachoperro.

[jaclaz]

@Kachoperro

During my wanderings on the net, I just happened to find the Sandisk Format utility , buried in a "forgotten" page on Sandisk site:
http://www.sandisk.com/Oem/DesignSupportTools/
http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/OEM/Des...b-test-tool.exe

Maybe, just maybe, is what you need.

@all
From the reports till now gathered it appears that the Lockiteasy program only works on OTi controller based sticks, I am editing out first post, hoping I will soon find a more complete "property listing" tool besides checkUdisk.

@jaclaz

Bad luck. These are the results:

Read test: OK (4 h. time of process ).
Write Test: Fail.
Quick format: No media or write error.
Full format: No media or write error.

Well, definitively, I will include it in my particular museum of broken toys .

One more time, thank you very much. Greetings,

Kachoperro.

Yeah jaclaz thanks for crediting me m8.

I must stress though that the only drive i used it on so far is the 128 mb elite v1.x jumpdrive and i
cannot confirm if this works with other sticks of lexar. Other users should report if possible.
(it was neccessary to use it because on the 824 bios version of DFI Lanparty UT-D NFORCE 3 the
stick wouldnt boot and would freeze the computer if tried to boot from it, different mobos/chipsets
and bios versions may have varying results):

in M$ USB FAQ stays:

A RMB (Removable Media Bit ) set to zero indicates that the device is not a removable media device. A RMB of one indicates that the device is a removable media device.
