How to get Puppy to treat USB like H.D.? (Solved)
How to get Puppy to treat USB like H.D.? (Solved)
I thought occured to me that why deal with the ram to USB save?
Much better is to use the USB as a H.D. and mount Save file directly.
New Flash drives have a much better life span than the old ones.
My new PC has only a 64GB USB2 drive. Next one will be USB3.

As drunkjedi suggests use "pmedia=usbhd".
The trigger for the odd pupmodes is a pmedia ending in "flash".
If all the puppy files are on usb then use "pmedia=usbhd", this means puppy will only look on the usb devices.
If you want to split puppy files between ata and usb devices, then use "pmedia=atahd".

Have you actually "worn out" a flash drive? I've had one or two flash drives go south on me but they weren't very old and hadn't seen much use, so I figure they failed for some other reason than wearing out.sunburnt wrote:...New Flash drives have a much better life span than the old ones....
Years ago, a forum member, I forget who, was going to test some flash drives by constantly writing to them to see how long they lasted. I don't remember seeing anything about the results.

lexar bootit.exe utility to flip the Removable Media Bit setting of a USB driveBurn_IT wrote:There is a bit in the control section of a USB that sometimes can be flipped to make a USB emulation into a HD.
Look at a (Windows) application called Bootit
bootit.tar.gz this doesn't always work with some flash drives
