Hi Caroline.

Yes, U3 is a system for allowing you to install software directly on to your flash drive and then using that software on any computer you plug the drive in to. There are a great many U3 applications available ranging from password and data vault programs, antivirus utilities and the like to full blown business software programs such as word processing applications, email clients etc. The u3 software already preloaded on to your drive allows you to manage these applications, however if you want you can remove u3 by downloading the u3 removal tool from the support area of u3.com. I hope this helps you and by all means ask further questions and I'll do my upmost to help.

Subject: [access-uk] U3 Flash Drives


Hello,

I am looking to replace an ageing flash drive with something more spacious. Today I received an e-mail from Amazon advertising a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB U3 Readyboost Flash Drive for £9.99.

I realise that Readyboost might be useful for increasing available memory in Vista, but wonder whether the U3 aspect of this drive would be likely to cause problems with Jaws. I haven't had chance to look at a U3 drive before, but understand they have some extra software installed which enables you to run applications directly from the drive. If this is problematic for Jaws, is there any way of removing it so that the drive would work as a standard USB flash drive without the U3 capabilities?

Thanks,

Caroline.
