From: Glitch on 9 Mar 2007 08:12 Hi I got a 4 GB Kingston Data traveler (DTSP/4GB) in Xmas present from med chef, but the thing is, I want to install winxp or something on it and boot up etc.. http://www.kingston.com/flash/privacyUSB.asp It seems I cant access anything unless I type in a security code which blocks it from being bootable. It works like 2 drives appear when inserting it 1 drive has a cdrom icon with CDFS partition and the second drive looks like a normal USB stick without security. Then it pops up with this "DataTraveler Secure-Privacy Edition" password that I have to set to get access to anything. Anyone have experienced how to remove this security from such drive ? I really wish anyone know how and you will save my hard work, have tried many things for almost 3 days in a row. Thanks in advance.

This is not the stick to do what, you claim, you want. Luck; Ken

Then you are ignoring that XP doesn't natively support running from removable media. There are hacks to be able to do it, like grafing on a removable storage driver but it's far too lengthly a process to cover in a usenet post, Google for how to do it if you hadn't already. >http://www.kingston.com/flash/privacyUSB.asp > >It seems I cant access anything unless I type in a security code which >blocks it from being bootable. Kingston has software to remove this (software) and make it a plain vanilla flash drive... or at least they do for some of their drives, if you can't find it then Google for the removal tool. > >It works like 2 drives appear when inserting it 1 drive has a cdrom >icon with CDFS partition and the second drive looks like a normal USB >stick without security.

I'd wondering if you did any research about actually running XP from a flash drive before you started... perhaps you did but you've omitted this.
