Touch pro as a pc boot drive?

Where would files need to be to have this happen using the "use as a disk drive" feature? Has anyone had success?

I'd suggest you just go buy an USB Flash drive, they are cheap and I'm sure heck a lot easier for your application.

Re: Touch pro as a pc boot drive?

I imagine you could make it bootable in the same way you would any USB drive...

Re: Touch pro as a pc boot drive?

i've used it to boot linux. it works like any other usb flash drive. the files would pretty much go on the root of the storage card...

Re: Touch pro as a pc boot drive?

Once you set the mode (in the TP) as "Disk Drive" the computer should see the Storage Card as a standard thumb drive.
