I plugged the thing in and noticed that it added a cdrom to my computer. I know its a 512mb flash drive, but when i format it in windows is shows up as 447mb because of the 50mb worth of integrasys on the cdrom part. My question is, how do i get rid of the CD rom part of the flash drive?

There are many 1Gb and above USB drives that are actually much smaller. The Chinese seem to like these sorts of scams. Yes, if you have a look at http://www.everythingusb.com/forums/ you'll find hundred of reports of "smart" people buying LARGE sticks from "occasional" sources, like some e-bay auctions, for a SMALL price and later find that the stick is a fake one. But I thought that the smallest was 16 Mb, not 8Mb, so maybe this is not the case. jaclaz
