I need a bulk order of USB flash to install our OS image at work. The drive HAS to have a boot manager to install the Image OS. Do these have that?

These are junk do not waste your money on them. I bought 10 and none of them are any good and of course the company does nothing for me. Total and complete waste of money.

I appreciate the VISTA comments. My OS is VISTA ULTIMATE, and I tried using a Sandisk 4GB TITANIUM USB flash drive. It installed itself immediately without any opportunity for input from me, thus preventing me from erasing the U3 files. It doesn't work, and what is more, you can't erase the nasty files with explorer. Even MMC disk manager won't unlock the 'read-only' property. I contacted the company and told them that the 3 methods they recommend to uninstall U3 files didn't work. They replied by creating an 'EBOX' for me which needs a password (all this bs for a 25 dollar item!) and sent me a reply that quoted the same 3 methods I already told them didn't work. What a mess!

Are you asking for media? Nowadays most media comes in ISO format so you can install. I suppose the only way is to use one of the USB ports that comes with it.

The company who makes the drive has a partial list here: http://www.fourcorners.com/usb-digital-library.html

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

Mine came with a Sandisk drive. Not sure if that is just the assembly I got or the same for all of them.

It should work either way. I even used a 64gb flash usb drive for a little while when my hard drive burnt up.

Sorry, no. It's rare nowadays for any supplier to provide installation media. They almost always do, however, create a small protected partition on the hard-drive which the operating system can use to restore the computer to it's "as-delivered" condition in the event of a "hard fault" failure to start. The best thing you can do yourself is create an image of your system on an external storage drive as it is when you are satisfied with it. That way you can restore it to the original drive, or to a newer/faster/bigger or solid state drive when you want better performance or more storage space. Sorry, no.

you're referring to an OS recovery disc I assume... my guess would be no. Most PCs now a days do not include that (at least not included for no additional cost), but you should have an option to create your own using blank DVD+Rs or USB flash driveLook for the HP Recovery Manager

I bought for something other than a Pc, so I'm not sure. What operating system? I recently had to learn a trick to get my PC to assign the drive. It saw it, but did nothing with it until I took a certain step.

The specs say 2 tb however the flash OS does not have a limitation. It should work.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

Installation of an internal drive is NOT necessary. The Akitio is working perfectly with just the insertion of a 32 GB USB drive.

Yes, most external optical drives are USB driven, it's as simple as plugging it in and downloading any needed software.
