Easy for you to say. How many here have a clue about what you just said??SanDisk USB drives should work fine. You will need to remove the emulated disk drive on some of them though.
What to explain how to do that??

>>>That's what I thought you were talking about, neemo. I couldn't remember the name of the SanDisk emulation program. I fooled around with it when they first came out with it years ago, and it provides things like password protection and encryption of your files on the Flash Drive. However, most of the new SanDisk Cruzer Glides and even some of their other model drives no longer have the U3 auto-loading when you first take the flash drive out of the retail packaging and install into your PC before you put any data onto them. And further, I've used both Windows utilities to pre-format the new flash drive such as DISK MANAGEMENT, and Linux Tools such as GParted Control from the UBCD disk on ISO-Linux. Those tools do a pretty complete job at removing the U3 Launchpad app that's on some of these flash drives, I know for a fact. This is because I've had to create DOS or Win98SE boot flash drives to flash BIOS on some older computers that require that. If the U3 is not properly erased, you cannot produce a clean DOS or Win98SE boot with which to run a DOS or command-line BIOS update command or script. That's a good thought anyway thanks for trying. Like I said, I spent 3 years fooling around with producing bootable USB sticks, and most of that I did with SanDisk. I'm sure you know how valuable these bootable OS sticks can be for repair situations, especially when you are onsite at a Client's and don't have your entire toolkit with you--I carry like 5 on my car keyring! I had never heard of the compatibility issues for Win8x and Win10 bootable sticks on the SanDisk until holdum mentioned it in last week's post! [thanks again, Gary!!].<<< <<<BBJ>>>
No... it just "ignores" the fact that I`ve changed the boot order in bios and got a USB in there and boots straight to Windows...
