Restoreu3.exe restoreu3.exe

My wife was going on a trip, handed me her old 2 Gb USB stick type mp3 player and asked me to install Firefox with her Favorites, Thunderbird with all her settings and recent emails, and an office suite, with all her documents from that week that she would be using.我的妻子去上一趟，我交給她的老2 GB的USB記憶棒型MP3播放器，並問我安裝Firefox的與她的最愛，雷鳥與她所有的設置和最近的電子郵件， Office套件，與她所有的文件從週她將用。 Oh, and could I make sure it had a builtin virus checker as she didn’t trust the PCs she might be connecting to and wanted to stay safe.哦，我想確保它有一個內建的病毒檢查，因為她不信任電腦，她可能會連接到和想留的安全。

My first thought was U3.我第一次以為是的U3 。 It’s the standard Sandisk Cruzer applications-and-file-handling mini operating system for their USB drives.它的標準的SanDisk cruzer應用和文件處理小型作業系統為他們的USB驅動器。 I figured there might be a way to transfer the system from my Cruzer to her mp3 stick. i揣摩有可能的方式轉讓系統從我的cruzer她的MP3堅持。 No such luck, of course.沒有這樣的運氣，當然。 Just on the off chance that it might work, I transferred the files but attempting to launch U3 launchpad throws up the obvious error, you might expect - “The U3 smart drive capabilities of this drive have been disabled.就在起飛的機會，它可能工作，我移交的檔案，但試圖發射的U3 LaunchPad投擲了明顯的錯誤，你可能會期望-“ U 3智能驅動器的能力，這個驅動器已被禁用。 Double-click RestoreU3.exe to enable U3 on this drive…”雙擊restoreu3.exe ，使這方面的U3驅動器… … “

A search for this error message on Google threw up just one hit in Dutch, but there was a link entitled “搜索此錯誤消息在Google上投擲了1個安打，只是在荷蘭，但有聯繫的題為“ U3 on NON U3 Drive在U3對非的U3驅動器 ” which looked promising so I followed that, only to find a raging argument about whether U3 could be run on non-U3 drives or not. “期待有前途的，所以我接著說，只有找到一個熊熊的爭論是否可以在U3上運行的非的U3驅動器或不。 One guy claiming that with a few hacks he has been able to install and run it on several cheap non-U3 drives.一傢伙聲稱與數駭客，他已經能夠安裝和運行它的幾個廉價的非的U3驅動器。 It all looked a bit hairy, so I abandoned that tack and headed back to Google to see if there was an open source option.這一切似乎有點毛，所以我認為，被遺棄的釘和為首的回Google ，看看是否有是一個開放源碼的選擇。 Incidentally,順便一提， U3在U3 is a neat little system if you’ve got the right kind of USB.是一個乾淨小系統，如果您已獲得正確的種的USB 。 There is, however, an alternative that seems to be even more versatile -有，不過，另一種認為這似乎更是多才多藝- http://portableapps.com/ . 。

PortableApps provides an open platform that works with any hardware - USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive etc etc. Their homepage lists the applications available and among them are Firefox, Thunderbird, and various others, including a version of Pidgin, the Instant Messenger application that mashes up various IM languages and lets you chat with users on different systems (hence the name), there’s also GIMP, which does something similar. portableapps提供一個開放平台，工程與任何硬件-U SB快閃磁碟機時， i Pod，便攜式硬盤驅動器等，等他們的網頁，列出了申請，並提供其中的F irefox， T hunderbird和各種其他人，包括一版本的洋涇浜，即時信使應用程序mashes各種即時通訊語言，並讓您聊天的用戶在不同的系統（由此得名） ，也有的gimp ，這是否類似。 The site also has ClamWin (antivirus) and a Notepad application as well as a port of OpenOffice.該網站也已clamwin （防毒）和一個記事本的應用，以及作為一個港口的OpenOffice 。 There’s even a version of the VLC media player, which handles just about every video type without having to resort to dozens of different codec downloads.甚至還有一種版本的vlc媒體播放器，處理公正，大約每視頻類型而沒有必要求助於數十種不同的編解碼器下載。 The graphic on this post shows which apps come with the standard full install (the lite version is…lite).圖形上顯示，這個職位，其中應用服務來與標準完全安裝（簡潔版是…建興） 。

It sounded just right.它聽起來恰恰好。 Best of all, as they say, it’s FREE.最重要的是，正如他們所說，它是免費的。

It all installed quickly and easily, files and documents were neatly transferred and the virus definitions updated.它所有已安裝的輕鬆，快速的檔案和文件被整齊地轉移和病毒定義更新。 So, U2 was great and I added a few of their mp3s to the drive for entertainment purposes, but for non-cruzers, it looks like U3 is redundant thanks to portableapps.com.所以， U2的是偉大的，我補充幾句，他們的MP3到驅動器的娛樂用途，但對於非cruzers ，它看起來像在U3是多餘的感謝portableapps.com 。 Regardless, after all the searching and installing the trip was canceled, so I really needn’t have bothered.不管怎樣，畢竟搜索並安裝之行被取消，所以我真正需要的不是有困擾。

I did notice a glitch while testing the system though.我並通知故障，而測試系統，雖然。 If you pull the plug before quitting the portableapps dialog in the tray it can trigger a memory dump blue screen, which requires a hard reboot on an XP machine.如果您的外掛程式之前，退出portableapps對話框，在托盤中，它可以觸發內存轉儲藍色屏幕上，這需要一個努力重新啟動就一XP的機器。 Not a big issue, just remember to quit before pulling the USB out.沒有一個大問題，只是記得要退出之前，拉的USB 。
