Innostor USB drive set as DVD/CD-ROM

[xblackdog]

I got a USB drive recently that was given to employees that went to a PASS Summit. It's a 32gb Innostor flash drive. On every computer I've plugged it into it comes up as Innostor CD-ROM on Flash USB Device. In computer Management it is under DVD/CD-ROM drives.

What I'm trying to do is format it, and set it to USB only. I thought it was partitioned, but all the guides I found required it to have some semblance of a USB drive in order to format.
This is as far as I can get into its settings http://imgur.com/a/NwMfq#0

Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a fairly strong idea that these things are read-only. They are manufactured with custom firmware to make them work like a CD-ROM (The RO of ROM stands for "Read Only".) You may be able to monkey around with the partitions using a program called UFDUtility which you can Google for. Use at our own risk!

Thanks, I'll have to look into this.
