Some time ago I had a problem with my laptop booting from flash and I used various methods for overcoming this problem for booting into Puppy. One of them was the build-in puppy-to-flash installer. I've tried all of the options there. It didn't help though.
The problem is that when I run the USB-FDD option my flash drive *physically* split into 2 parts. Now the drive is recognized as two devices - the first is 1.44 USB-FDD device and the other a normal USB Flash Drive. Windows 7 reads the two without a problem really (it's rather annoying though) and Vista (and probably XP) have serious problems reading the 4 Gigs part. This leaves me with only 1.44 USB-FDD on these systems which is quite bad and makes my USB Flash unusable.
My question is can I undo what the Puppy installer had done to my Flash and turn it single device again.
By the way in hardinfo Storage list I see the USB and two devices two and they have differences.
The device info for them is similar
Code: Select all
Model USB DISK Pro
Vendor USB DISK Pro
Type Disk
Revision PMAP
For the USB-FDD i get:
Code: Select all
Controller scsi5
Channel 0
ID 0
LUN 0
Code: Select all
Controller scsi5
Channel 0
ID 0
LUN 1
So can I make my Flash one agian or will it be divided forever?
