> This sounds like a "Smart" drive - can you confirm? I plugged it into a Windows system and it also recognized a CD drive. In addition, it vomited out a few popup windows and started something in the system tray. This is so ingenious that I think it must be a 'smart' drive. An article from the following URL tells me it is a 'U3 smart drive': http://www.everythingusb.com/u3.html I didn't know such a thing existed before today. > I have one of these devices myself and simply removed the Smart > partition to reclaim the space it takes up. Apparently there is a U3 uninstaller: http://www.u3.com/uninstall/default.aspx Thanks for the responses everyone. My confusion is gone.
