I received a USB flash 128 MB promotion sample that a friend had and he doesn't need anymore.
Upon inserting in my PC, I got two new drives F and G
The F drive is formatted in CDFS and has an application, something like a pps.
The G drive is formatted as FAT.
When I tried to delete the application, I got a warning.
There is no format option for drive F, only drive G.
Obviously the company that gave away the sample wants to keep the file on the stick.
The problem is that once I insert it, it will not stop and I have to switch off the PC and then take it out.
(It is recommended not to take any USB flash out without stopping).
My question is how can I format this stick so that I can get rid of this annoying application?
I am thinking of using my Dreambox 7000S to format it this evening, but will it work?
I read that CDFS is a Linux based format.
Thanks.
