Corsair Flash Voyager 32Gb Usb 3.0 Driver
Marnie Monteverde
managed to find the file on some obscure forum. tried it on my new 32gb corsair GT. worked like a charm, didn't even corrupt/format the two partitions i had on there (although backing up the drive is always a good plan)
To mount a USB flash drive or an SD card as a hard drive, you need a special filter driver, which allows you to modify data sent via the system stack of the current device driver. We will use a filter driver for USB flash drives by Hitachi (Hitachi Microdrive driver), which allows to change the USB device type from removable to fixed (USB-ZIP -> USB-HDD) at the OS driver level. Using this driver, you can hide from the system that the connected device is removable. As a result, the system assumes that it works with a usual hard disk, which can be split into several partitions available in the system simultaneously.
Now you only have to restart the computer and when open the Disk Managment console, verify that the flash drive is identified as a common hard disk (Type: Basic) and uses Hitachi driver.
also will this affect all preciously removable devices connected to my computer I.e will all flash drives plugged into my pc show up as local not removable if i delete all 5 windows drivers and replace with the new one?
Please note that the USB flash drive in question will only appear as hard disk on the computer you installed the Hitachi driver on. On all other computers, it will still appear as removable drive. Thus, the entire exercise becomes questionable.
I do NOT like the fact that with the Hitachi driver I need to configure it for a specific device by device ID. Is there a way to REPLACE the Windows USB flash drive driver entirely with a 3rd party driver that reports ALL USB flash drives that may ever be plugged into the system in the future as fixed-drives (instead of removable)? I ask this, because I see NO ADVANTAGE to having a drive be handled by Windows as removable. I see a MAJOR advantage though in tricking Windows into seeing any USB flash drives as if they were fixed-drives (normal internal harddrives). The reason for this is that ONLY fixed-drives are capable of having more than one partition on them (sadly a limitation of Windows, but a limitation that could be worked around if I could trick Windows into seeing all external USB flash drives as being fixed-drives instead of removable).
"Hi all, I have a 128GB Corsair flash voyager GT USB 3.0 flash drive. It came formatted as NTFS. Recently, I wanted to format it to FAT32 in order to use it in my other electrical goods like My Xbox and my TV. But when I plugged the flash drive into my computer and tried to format the USB to FAT32, it would not let me do it. I am just wondering why it happened and how can I successfully format my 128GB USB flash drive to FAT32. If you have any suggestions, please help!"
I've never had a 32 gb flash (thumb) drive that didn't work on my win-98 systems. I am leery of buying anything larger because of one instance of someone else's 64 gb drive that didn't work. I would like to know of other people's experiences with 64 gb thumb drives and win-98 (with maxim decim's driver).
Having a bootable Linux on flash drive is very handly tool for a web developer. When I was about to create one, my TDK 16GB flash drive becomes inaccessible in my Windows 7 file explorer. The Windows explorer detected it and shows "Removable drive (H:)". When I clicked the drive, it prompted me to insert a disk in Drive H: as if it were acting as a CD or DVD drive. I checked it on my "Device Manager" and found my flash drive registered as "USB Disk 30X USB Device". I tried some known fix: uninstalled/re-installed the drive's device driver, re-assigned new Drive letter and nothing worked. I thought of giving it a low level format and in this article will show how to do it.

On another system, go to Gigabyte website, and download the .inf SATA drivers. Extract all files, and put them in a USB flash drive (you can use the Windows Setup one, if you want. Yes, you can pull the USB flash drive at this stage of the Windows Setup, just plug it back in on the same port before resuming).
Once done, pick "Load Driver", then navigate to your USB flash drive, and select the .inf file. The drivers should load. NOTE: You cannot have any .zip files, or .exe's. Windows is not installed to execute a program. Once the drivers are loaded, your SATA drive will show.
If you transfer files from other devices to 128GB PNY USB flash drive, the USB flash drive could be infected by virus. Some virus might damage the driver, so your PNY USB drive cannot be detected properly. Use the antivirus software to kill virus.
