Sorry, this is waaaaaaaaaaay off-topic, but I wondered if any of the USB experts might happen to know:
I was at the UK Embedded Systems Show the other day, and got a free USB stick from Farnell. When plugged-in, this shows up as two drives: 1. A CD-ROM drive, which has an auto-play promotional movie on it; 2. A "normal" USB drive.
The trouble is, every time you plug it in, it tries to play the movie again!
:-(
Win-XP says the CD-ROM part is read-only, so won't let me delete the files or format it.
So, is there any way to get rid of this movie? Or do I just junk the whole stick?
For me, I just need to restart my desktop, boot into Ubuntu Linux, I don't need to find anything, so it only takes several minutes to me. But trying to find some software, scan viruses, read documentation, it realy takes too much time.
I always keep a CD with gparted for handling repairs, migration to larger disks etc. It has partition editor etc.
