Solved Make my Usb net adaptor a Usb drive

[Asiyreh]

Hi guys

I know this isn't exactly Win 7 related but I always found you guys a great source of knowledge in the past and I was hoping one of you guru types could maybe point me in the right direction

I have a Cisco Linksys wireless n-usb net adapter with dual band
Model - wusb600n ver.2
Win 7 Ultimate

I just want to turn it into a Usb hard drive if possible?


If you can help, or if you know it definitely can't be done... any assistance would be gratefully appreciated...


Cheers guys

This is a network adapter, not a pen drive. Just because it has a USB connector does not make it a storage device.

Maybe I'm missing something or not understanding. But how or why would you think it could be turned into a storage device? It has wireless hardware inside, not flash memory.

Are you asking because you need both functions, but only have one USB port?

Na just being stupid I guess.

Seemed like people on the web had managed to turn their adapters into storage devices.

I thought it might be possible as the architecture looks the same...

Silly me

A pineapple and a grenade look similar too, but have far different purposes.

Do you have any links where someone claims to do this?

Ah... can't remember soz. I've marked the thread solved

Thanks guys
