Removeable Media Bit Utility

[petersem]

[QUOTE=BrianMatte;45728]I would like to flip the RMB on my Supersonic 64gb, just like this guy:
http://www.patriotmemory.com/forums/...on-Magnum-64GB

+1 for a Removable bit flip utility. I just bought a patriot supersonic 64bit and am running the new Windows 8 preview off of it. Unfortunately it is crippled because i cant flip the removable bit. Otherwise, the drive is working superbly and i would have no qualms in recommending this drive be used by anyone wanting to run Windows 8 off a usb (which is a valid use for Windows 8).

Until i can get that damned bit flipped though, i cant fully use the drive for the intention i purchased it for and cant recommend it be used for this either.

Please! supply a utility to flip the removable bit that will allow us to use this great USB drive to it's fullest extent.

Many thanks

+1 . Same as the other people. I bought this specifically to run Windows 8 To Go and now its useless as I cannot install any other app from the MS App store as it sees the device as removable media. 80% MS problem, 20% Patriot issue. After spending a fairly large amount of money on this drive Vs. others, you would hope they have better support. Guess not!

The main reason I bought the supersonic is speed and capacity. If only I had known the stick is restricted as "removable media", I would have bought a much smaller capacity stick... I now use the supersonic only for backup, as I bought a Lexar
to take on the role I was going to use the supersonic for...

Guys, I have done some reasearch and found a few links that tries to change the the RMB on these USB devices. I have not been very successful so far, but was hoping someone may find a solution that can share:

Really, Patriot should assist and provide a utility to over come this issue!
