This is for my friend who has Win 98 Operating System on his computer! Now don't ask me why he can't install Win XP on his PC. We have tried couple of times but I think his motherboard doesn't support Win XP!

BTW, is it possible to format a U3 flash drive without loosing its U3 tech. I read somewhere that we cannot format a U3 flash drive. Is it true?

I have a 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro and the included SW are Cruzerlock and trial versions of PocketCache and CruzerSync. (any of which I have never used)

U3 is totally different. It gives a launch menu like thing, preserves settings for your applications installed on it, Skype, Avast AV, and lots more. In fact its launch menu looks like your normal XP start bar. :))

Haven't seen a U3 enabled SanDisk in my city yet. But I won't buy it for the 'U3' stuff, cause those are Windows exclusives anyway, of no use to me.

Its available on eBay if you wish to buy it from there.

Just got a Kingston Data Traveler 4GB for Rs.1125 yesterday(MRP : Rs.2500).May be cheaper in Delhi and Mumbai.
The drive looks rugged,i must say. The package contents though are miserly. Just a small cord along with the drive!!Nothing else.

4 GB for Rs.1125 is dirt cheap boss. Where did you get it from. Can you also find the cost of 4 GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro with U3.

there's an exhibition going on in our city. Got it from there. Was surprised to see that even moser baer has also come up with pen drives!!

@U3 : People without U3 pen drives can try portable apps. Found it pretty decent.

Just learnt that Corsair FlashVoyager 4 GB is available for Rs.1350 and 2 GB for Rs.700. This is approx. the same cost as of sandisk Micro Cruiser. Now, which one is better. Sandisk or Corsair?

Sandisk has diff models with diff speeds and cost. Also Corsair has FlashVoyager GT with higher speeds and cost.

I dont want to go for the GT model as it costs high. So compairing Sandisk Micro Cruiser with U3 against Corsair FlashVoyager, which one is faster and better.

One of my friend had a sandisk 2gb U3, yesterday due to some reason his pen drive is not working, "usb device not recognized" error.

Well according to some reviews on the internet the Corsair voyager(non gt) got a write speed of around 8-10MB/s thats pretty good i think compared to only 5-6MB/s of the U3.

And for me how much does the GT model cost ?
