I have a usb thumbstick, I got it at a computer show and it's got content on it. It was part of a company showcase. I was thinking as I don't have a thumbstick of my own until I got this company showcase one, is it possible to erase the content, format it and use it myself to put my own files on it?
Is it possible to modify a thumbstick?

Would also be interested to know this, CPW were giving out 512MB sticks at Uni a while back but half of it's partitioned off with their crappy advertising.
Are there any utilities out there that would get rid of it?
(Oh, and dvdbunny in "not totally retarded question" shocker!

)I see no reason why you couldnt do this. Have you tried just right clicking on the drive in explorer and full formatting it? You could also have a look in disk management by right clicking on my computer and pressing 'manage' then disk management. You may be able to view and delete the partitions from there more comprehensively.
Disk Managment and nuke it should do the trick

okay what is CMD?
I have right click properties on my thumbstick and it said free space 120MB, used space 360MB it doesn't show total space but I guess it's 512MB and with those figures combined it's 480MB after formatted, is that right?

If you need to ask what CMD is, then don't use it.

Is there a way I can take my acrobat professional 7.0 and put it on a usb thumbstick?
Hey Guys,
I have taken a look at my version of adobe acrobat 7.0 professional on my hard disk it's folder size is 470MB. Is there a way I can just copy and paste that file onto my usb thumbstick? So it then I can load up adobe acrobat on another computer directly from the usb thumbdrive without needing to install adobe on this other computer?
Also before I do any on this, Can I get this folder size much smaller? All I need from adobe 7.0 professional is the pdf editing features and reader.

It was a serious post, with actual helpful information. Which, in one of your threads, is quite rare.
If you don't want help, don't ask for it

Burnsy, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let him post in GD again. It'll invariably mean he posts less in here!
In the past I've shyed away from replying, or quoting the above post. But after seeing:
I think it's OK.
Oh and... lol, dvdbunny (apologies if already spotted before):

Not if you selected the USB Stick instead of a hard drive.
