Computer Repair Tip

<< < (2/3) > >>

I think you missed a bit of the point in most cases it is not my computer that I am working on so ghosting the drive is not a possibility.  These are computers I am given because they are no longer used or ones that need repair and of course there are no cds or backups to be seen.

I think it's a great idea to have something like that handy - I always thought it would be an AWESOME tool to have a usb ethernet adapter that had a built-in USB memory card on it (1gig or less would be fine) so you could keep the drivers on the usb memory FOR the usb ethernet adapter. 

I used to keep a 128meg usb stick and a usb ethernet adapter in my bag of tricks....

I've always wondered why they didn't just put the drivers on the USB stick like this.  You'd think someone would do it by now.

I've got a Skype USB phone that did this.  That was a cheapo $10 model, too.  It shows up as a mic/speaker but also as a small amount of mass storage.

Great idea, thanks!

It's at amazon for $2.
