Hi

Just a small Windows shell for some of my favourite and most-used tools: bootable.exe and universal dumper
all credits go to their developers, which I believe to be (in no particular order) ewavr, Jef666 and RyeBrye,
if others want to get their nicks and/or names on the list, just tell me ...

I have tried my best to make it safe (ie, it will only accept "Removable" and "Unknown" types of drives) and
avoid 'unnecessary' operations (ie only offer formatting when no FAT16 is present, and only make bootable
when it isn't yet etc)
That said, take care anyway, it IS a formatting tool !

All source code and helper files included, 1 single executable, no registry entries (or reads, for that matter)
stores a couple of presets in an ini file.

Source code and helper files can be found in the CardTricks directory, generated by the
program in the directory where the program is run from.

The program gets falsely flagged as malware quite often - if this happens try an online scan:

VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan or Virus Chief

Well, it's very good, with one exclusion - after setting this driver (to make several partition on card) card reader looks as fixed hard drive. Maybe program requires some checkbox ("allow access to fixed drives") to allow access to such devices.

edit: Now I provide warning in my bootable.exe for non-removable drives.

@ewavr

Thanks, I'll try and put that in as well (at the moment it does FAT 16 only)
It will be hard for me to test large card functions, don't have any ...
I suppose the filter driver needs to be regsvr32'ed, if that's so, can it be done 'on the fly' (without reboot) ?

Meanwhile, here's version 1.01 with the unnecessary drive selects bug removed (also Jeff666's name corrected...)

edit DL removed, updated - see below (or above, depending on yr settings )

Updated to v. 1.1

updated - see later post

- Will now also format cards > 4 GB (FAT32 of course)
- Override protection for Fixed drives (but System drive, Home drive & Program drive still protected)
- Some tooltips added

enjoy

wim

edit: could somebody with a 4 GB card please verify if it's OK to allow a Universal Dumper to be
       created with on this type of card, ie with 64K clusters, I mean does such a card actually work ?
       thanks in advance (can't test this, don't have 'big' cards)

@mx3

Fully agree. How about replacing/adding a text-only version of the Wiki THANKS page to it ?
Can't help you there though, don't have(or want) write access to trunk

wim

edit: link removed, latest versions in first & latest posts

changes v. 1.15: added possibility to suppress info messages (they started to annoy me Big Grin)
