Has has anyone successfully been able to reconfigure the Dell USB sticks with P/N: VJ3VF_A00 so they can be used for storage purposes rather than OS recovery? We just throw them away now and it would be nice if we could actually use them.Is MPTool.exe using too much CPU or memory ? It's probably your file has been infected with a virus. It seems the manufacturer of the stick is Mentor Media. (various versions on all these) In each case the USB stick is not even recognized. This includes the MPALL software, PNY UFix software, and the SMI MPTools. I’ve tried many different programs suggested on Techunboxed. I’ve searched all over the web and I know it’s possible on previous models but I have not been able to successfully reflash our specific USB sticks. We’d like to store data on them as we see fit, but unfortunately the drives are read-only and do not allow us that ability. Since we do all our own imaging we have no need for the USB sticks being used for that purpose.

We have hundreds of the 8GB flash sticks that come with the new Dells for OS recovery.
