Attached: Introduction to various USB flash drive startup Modes
1, USB-HDD: Hard Disk simulation mode, DOS boot after the display C: disk, hp u disk formatting tool to make the U disk that uses this boot mode. This mode is highly compatible, but cannot be started for some computers that only support USB-ZIP mode.

2, USB-ZIP: Large Capacity floppy disk simulation mode, DOS boot after display A disk, Flash boot made of USB-ZIP boot U disk that uses this mode. This mode is the only option on some older computers, but it is not compatible with most new computers, especially large-capacity USB flash drives.

4, USB-ZIP +: enhanced USB-ZIP mode, support USB-HDD/USB-ZIP dual-mode boot (depending on the computer, some BIOS may display C: disk after DOS boot, some BIOS may display A: disk after the DOS is started, so as to achieve high compatibility. Its disadvantage is that some support USB-HDD computer will this mode of U disk is considered to be a USB-ZIP to start, resulting in more than 4 GB of large capacity U disk compatibility decreased.

5, USB-CDROM: Disc simulation mode, DOS boot can not occupy the disc, General compatibility. The advantage is that XP/2003 can be installed like a CD. Generally, the production tool corresponding to the specific USB flash drive model/batch number is required for production. For the U3 disk, a general production tool is available on the Internet.
