Creating A CD in USB Pen Drive
Creating A CD in USB Pen Drive
This article describes the option to create an extended partition on the flash CD-ROM. In
this section, you can place any image CD / DVD. For example, images of Windows PE /
BartPE, LiveCD or any other images to install operating systems. For example, used the
flash Kingston DataTraveler 1Gb controller Phison PS2134 and utility Phison UP13 UP14
UP12 v1.96 .( http://www.flashboot.ru/files/file/10/)
Below instructions for sticks with a Phison model PS2134 controller, grabbed
as they are from here (http://flashboot.ru/index.php?
name=News&op=article&sid=23). I personally re-flashed 2 sticks, a 1 GByte
Kingston Data Traveler II and a 4 GByte Apacer AH320. I have tested these
'flash CdRoms' by installing Linux Ubuntu, Windows XP Cds and Windows 7
Dvd (this one using the 4 Gbyte stick). In order to find out if a stick can be re-
flashed by following the technique below described the first step is to test, by
using an appropriate software, if the Phison controller is 'on board'. Download
(always from the same russian site): the appropriate software (it's in English
http://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=Files&op=view_file&lid=125) ant it's just
the utility suppliead by Phison to initialize and flash it own controllers.
before you go on be aware that there is no warranty you will be able to
succesfully flash a CdRom drive, in worst case you may totally destroy
(become unrecoverable) the stick !.
1) Insert the stick in an USB port and make sure it has been recognized by
Windows
2) Run F1_90_v196_00.exe (you get it from zip
'Phison_UP13UP14UP12_V1.96')
3) Press the 'Get Info.' button. Pay attantion, do not press any other button or
you may erase the stick !.
4) If you get the message 'No drive found!' you can't go on, you stick can not
be flashed by this software.
5) If you see all the stick technical information in the 'Test Information' window
then you can try.
6) Go on by following the instructions written here
(http://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=News&op=article&sid=23).
The utility allows you to set the controller to one of the following
configurations:
Mode 3 - standard mode. The standard stick: a read / write disk unit
Mode 4 - 2 sections. A Floppy unit and the standard disk unit (*)
Mode 7 - 2 sections. Two independent flash disk units
Mode 8 - 2 sections. Hidden, password protected section and a standard disk
unit (*)
Mode 14 - 3 sections. Standard disk unit, HDD (not visible in Windows XP)
and CD sections
Mode 21 - 2 sections. A CD (read only) section and the standard disk unit (*)
(*) : the unused flash memory part is left availabe to user as a second disk
unit so you can use it as a standard USB stick

Kind flash from the controller. View from the memory.First you need to flash the controller
with standard settings. This is useful if a flash was already a partition (hidden or CD-ROM).If
additional sections were not - go to step 2.
