Hi

I got a 4 GB Kingston Data traveler (DTSP/4GB) in Xmas present from
med chef, but the thing is, I want to install winxp or something on it
and boot up etc..
http://www.kingston.com/flash/privacyUSB.asp

It seems I cant access anything unless I type in a security code which
blocks it from being bootable.

It works like 2 drives appear when inserting it 1 drive has a cdrom
icon with CDFS partition and the second drive looks like a normal USB
stick without security. Then it pops up with this "DataTraveler
Secure-Privacy Edition" password that I have to set to get access
to anything.

Anyone have experienced how to remove this security from such drive ?

I really wish anyone know how and you will save my hard work, have
tried many things for almost 3 days in a row.

Thanks in advance.

It is intentionally made with no "Public Area" to be secure. This is
not the stick to do what, you claim, you want.

Luck;

Then you are ignoring that XP doesn't natively support
running from removable media. There are hacks to be able to
do it, like grafing on a removable storage driver but it's
far too lengthly a process to cover in a usenet post, Google
for how to do it if you hadn't already.

Kingston has software to remove this (software) and make it
a plain vanilla flash drive... or at least they do for some
of their drives, if you can't find it then Google for the
removal tool.

I'd wondering if you did any research about actually running
XP from a flash drive before you started... perhaps you did
but you've omitted this.
