Is there a way to make a USB HDD act like its smaller cousin the USB memory stick (flash stick). I have left USB thumb drives connected for day on end, restarted numerous times, yet windows never grabs the drive for system restore. On some systems my USB HDD, it takes a reboot before windows grabs it, on others it does this imidiatly... that prosses take about 4 GB on my USB 40GB one, and 8.9GB of my 80GB one.... I have had to resort to permanatly turning off system restore on my system, but i am looking for a solution that i can put on my drive so i don't have to configure everyone elses machine... Please Help.... -------------------------------------- 5 Mar 06 Does anyone have anything???
