| | Flash Drive Problem I bought a 2 gb Minnie Mouse Flash Drive. When I plug it in to the usb port two drives are shown as mounted. A 1 Gb drive is shown as "CD Drive (G  Minnie" and the second 1 Gb isshown as a normal "Removable Disk (F " and operates as I would expect.The Minnie volume has two files, one an autorun.inf and the other is Minnie.exe, a 1 mb flash file that displays a screen full of Minnie mouse spreading hearts around. When the drive in inserted the Minnie flash file runs and is always distracting. 1.) How can I delete the CD configuration from the drive and return the space to the thumb drive? I would reformat the whole device is possible. Thanks |

| | Re: Flash Drive Problem Here is the answer I received fron Buffalo, the manufacturer of the device. There is not a way to remove the CD-Rom drive partition. CD Partition is hard coded into the device. Thank you, Steven Buffalo Technical Support George W.
