Problem: How can I properly use a SanDisk Cruiser flash drive to image supported
devices using the Wyse USB Firmware Tool? (KB17735)

http://www.u3.com). When you initially use these drives, you are prompted to select the
use for the drive: Apps and Storage or only Storage. If you select the Apps and Storage
