You don't need to know. You cannot format a CDFS area anymore than you could format a music CD.

You cannot format the CDFS area of the drive. This is what makes it U3.
Formatting the FAT32 partition area of the drive won't disable U3 at
all. And the answer to your last question is no. You cannot use a
non-U3 drive with System Access. Thanks

But if the drive is reformatted, I believe the U3 capabilities of that
drive will be lost.  If SA will still work, does this in fact mean that
SA will work on any flash drive regardless of whether it is
U3-compatible or not?

Hi,

One of my students has installed some U3 software and it is becoming a
problem.  There is a format utility on the u3 system side of the drive.
If I format the jump drive, do I need to uninstall SA first?  I don't
see an uninstall anywhere.  I am assuming there is one install allowed
per student and I don't want to mess them up.  The absolutely love
having SA with them all the time.

We are still having problems getting the u3 drives to auto start on the
computers at school.  It works at home, but not on any computers at
work.  Any ideas what I need to do to get it to work?  When inserting
the drive, Windows Explorer pops up and I tell students to type l and
press enter.  That was fine until they had started to get files and
folders that started with l.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith
