Make Removable Media appear as Fixed Disk in Windows

Windows detects USB Flash Drives as Removable Media and USB Hard Disks as fixed drives.But by using Filter Drivers you can make USB Flash Drives (Removable media) appear as fixed drives in Windows.A filter driver is a Microsoft Windows driver that adds value to peripheral devices or supports a specialized device in the personal computer. It is a driver/program/module that is inserted into the existing driver stack to perform some specific function.There are many drivers which can be used for this purpose,but we will use diskmode.sys (which i think as the best among all)

Steps to be followed

1. Download and extract diskmod
2. Right Click on diskmod.inf – Install
3. Run UFDasHDD.bat and replug your USB Flash Drive to make it appear as Fixed Disk
4. Run UFDNormal.bat and replug your USB Flash Drive to make it appear normally as Removable Media
5. Run USBHDDasUFD.bat and replug your USB Hard Disk to make it appear as Removable Media
6. Run USBHDDnormal.bat and replug your USB Hard Disk to make it appear normally as Fixed Disk.
