General Support / Re: Install asks about secondary hard disk?

« on: January 07, 2014, 08:12:01 AM »

We just went through a huge headache with this same problem and finally figured out the issue.  Our older 8GB Cruzer Blades reported as removable and the newer versions do not.  Since the installer sees the flash drive as fixed it will overwrite itself and corrupt both the installation on the HDD and the files on the flash drive.  The cause is a change in the firmware on the newer drives and can be read about here:

Unfortunately there is no fix to flip the removable bit on the new Sandisk drives at this time.  I can see this being a bigger problem moving forward as more and more flash drives out in the wild will have this same configuration.  Is it possible to alter the script to identify the flash drive some other way? (potentially by size?)

Hardware Specific / Re: No USB keyboard support during restore...

Unfortunately we are trying to install on DC5100 and DC5700 machines which do not have such a feature in the BIOS.   When the quiet command is taken out, you can see in the terminal when the USB devices are plugged and unplugged, so they are being seen just not recognized as input devices.

Hardware Specific / No USB keyboard support during restore...

I have had this problem with Ubermix 1.063 across several models of desktops.  USB keyboards do not function after the first menu when trying to restore a computer.    PS2 keyboards work without a problem, but on USB only machine this poses a huge problem.  I'm hoping for a fix!  Thanks.
