firmadankt Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi,I noticed that there are usbsticks with an autostart function. I mean, you plug in your stick and the software on the stick starts.Does someone know how this works? I noticed that there are often two partitions on the device, on fat-partition and one that is formatted like a cd (cdfs) with an autorun.inf. The second partition is able to autostart, becausw windows seems to recognize this as a cd. But how to bring a "cd", an iso or a cdfs-partition on a usbstick??thx for answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 It requires the autorun.inf file, with a few parameters as to what you want it to do. You need to open a notepad document, add the lines of code you want and save it as autorun.inf. Just click save as > all types and call it autorun.inf and put it on the root of your flash drive.Basically this is what it would contain:[autorun]open=setup.exeicon=icon2.ico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmadankt Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 hmm...have you tested this? This works with a cd, but not with a usbdrive. If this works on your pc, then correct me. But this is teh problem - I think you have to format the partition, which should autostart with cdfs or is9660 or something like that.??

cozofdeath Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I did this to my school usb drive a while ago and it definitely works. Just make sure you get a cool display icon and hide the .inf file. For more autorun commands go here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
