Setup of USB Flash Drive for PortableApps Not Possible in Windows 2000?

Submitted by bme on May 24, 2007 - 12:35am

I have a Twinmos X4 flash disk.I downloaded the lite suite on a windows 2000 pro PC. I tried installing the Lite Suite it proceeded until a error message saying 2 or 3 files are corrupted so installation cannot continue. I redownloaded the suite 2 times but still I get the error. I suspected that my flash drive is defective so I tried reformatting it. Then I installed the standalone version of audacity(not portable apps) on the flash drive. It worked ok.so I think there is nothing wrong with my flash disk.

I’m the creator and project manager of AccessFirefox.com.
It’s a website and initiative to promote Firefox accessibility and Firefox accessibility tools such as accessibility extensions and high contrast, large print themes plus general resources for persons with disabilities.
So far the site and project has been successful and it’s continuing to gain momentum thanks in part to the support and backing from Mozilla.

How to check if an app if completely stealth?

Submitted by Glitch on May 21, 2007 - 8:02am

Nowadays you can find a lot of portable applications on the web. These application will indeed run from a USB stick but most of them leave (a lot of) traces if they even work at all on PC's without admin rights (like my office PC).

I'm pretty newbish to all this but I am only looking for a way to check if an application is fully stealth or not. I did a search but I'm probably looking with the wrong terms.

Thanx in advance.

Ok, I saw this topic:

USB Lock/Encryption

and at first I thought I had found a solution to my question, but instead it just confused me further.

Here's the deal:

I would like to partition my 488 mb flash drive into two sections:

Section 1, which is public, (unencrypted, no password needed to access)

and Section 2, which is private, (encrypted and password protected)
