Cfadisk Usb Driver X64

I thought I would start a new thread for this. Akeo (aka Rufus author) has noticed that the new Creator Edition 1703 now treats Removable USB drives as if they are fixed disks, If a Removable USB drive has more than one partition, then the other partitions can be assigned drive letters and are accessible in Explorer! Also, a partition type of 21h or 17h no longer seems to be regarded as a hidden partition?? Also, you can format a 2nd partition using the Format pop-up on insertion and it will be given a drive letter in Explorer but will be shown as unformatted in diskmgmt.msc Disk Management console! Its all very weird! Edited by steve6375, 02 April 2017 - 10:06 AM.

This is not correct information at least not for 1607/1703. He/She most of been using UAS media while testing as that would yeah work as a fixed drive, but regular USB is still not gonna work unless something like cfadisk or diskmod would be used. It is possible to read media from second partition of USB, but that support will stop working before setup can be completed. I got here all 3 editions (1607, 1703 RTM and Creators Edition) under testing with several types of media as I've been building media builder for multi partitioned media for past few years. I have tested 4 different USB flash drives with more than one partition on Win 10 x64 1703 and the 2nd partition is always seen and given a drive letter.

Akeo has observed the same behaviour. EDIT sorry - I mean 1703!!! Is this now the Creators Edition 1703/Build 15063 only. Since heck that means regular windows would start to understand multi partitioned removable media as well. Hmm, wonder what does the diskpart / diskmgmt.msc do when you try to format removable to multiple partitions. -edit- Gonna start testing it now. Perhaps I've missed something.

There seems to be some mismatch between the Windows Explorer and the pop-up format utility - and disk management console. If I create a raw unformatted 2nd partition on a USB drive and then insert it into a 1703 Win10 PC, I get a Format pop-up.

Jump to Hitachi Microdrive Filter Driver for USB Flash Drives - We will use a filter driver for USB. Hitachi Microdrive x64 (3.6 Kb). Cfadisk.inf – is the installation file with driver settings; cfadisk.sys – is a Hitachi driver file. 18: After booting Windows8 on USB open diskmanager, right click on the WTG disk, driver, update driver, browse, let me pick, have disk then locate your cfadisk driver ignoring the driver signing. 19: Reboot the Windows8 USB drive, the Windows8 USB drive should be detected as Basic now.

If I then use that pop-up dialog to format it, it gets a drive letter. BUT Disk Management Console does not see the 2nd partition as formatted or show it's drive letter. Even if I remove and reconnect or rescan. Yet I can save file to the 2nd partition in Explorer! However, if I use the Disk Management console to format the partition, it does register as formatted but it is not given a drive letter automatically. I can then assign a drive letter.

Today, We know that for a removable media, Windows will: See the disk fine (obviously), See the partitions fine (using windows, you can list all partitions although only the first one will be given a number=1, all others are given a number=0), But will mount a volume only for the first primary partition (the one with partition number=1). Without adding additional software (such as cfdisk), only way to reach another partition is to rewrite the MBR to move the desired partition first in the partition table. Now, we know it is not all about volumes but also about dosdevices. Explorer may see a logical drive even if it is not a volume (i.e seen by disk mgmt). Imdisk is one example. It would be interesting to compare the list of volumes versus the list of dosdevices - Although this might simply be a wrong track.

As a side/unrelated note, once software houses recruited beta-testers and often compensated them for the bug hunting and features/improvements suggestions with a free license for the finished product. Now, the good MS guys provided Windows 10 for free in advance as a form of compensation to the users beta-testers that have to use it. Somewhat backwards, especially considering that in the good ol' times the beta-testers were volunteering whilst Windows 10 users are/were largely tricked into it, but all in all fair enough. Also, the change is not even mentioned by MS, so how are we supposed to test it and feedback, even when using the Developers advance versions? Well, not really-really, devdevadev just posted how in an 'obscure' page on MSDN it has been mentioned 'in passing by': You need to be more attentive and follow all MS published pages, it would be far too easy to put this kind of info inside a 'proper' release note, they do however leave here and there some bread crumbs for the (possibly angry by now ) birds. Today I was testing Yumi to install CU on a partition of HDD, and latter when I pluged another USB unit this new way of treating removable drives made me think someting was wrong in my USB stick (this one was formated using RMPrepUSB long time ago). I just inserted the USB and inmediatly OS was offering me to format it in order to have access to it.
