   Quick question : does the detected drive-type matter ?

   Looking at the icons in the control panel there is some different behaviour between different usb sticks I have :
   => When I insert my 'cheapo' INTEGRAL USB-stick into the computer, it is recognized as a 'usb device'
   => When I insert my OCZ THROTTLE into an USB port, it is recognized as a 'disk'

   I'm guessing that it is related to the file-system being used, but I was wondering if it has any effects on the way eBoostr looks at these devices.

   Icons taken from explorer shell in most cases. How these devices are displayed in "My computer"?

   The Throttle shows up as a 'regular' disk under "My Computer", indeed identical to eg my c:\ drive.
   The cheapo USB shows up as, hmm, some kind of external drive I suppose, frankly it's a weird icon that imho more looks like a ZIP-drive than anything else. Also, I'm not seeing the USB-device kind of icon anymore in eBoostr now, weird.

   Anyway, I suppose that the answer to my question then is that the icon is just what Windows thinks it should look like, and has nothing to do with how eBoostr will handle the drive, right ?

   Yes, it is just a visual effect
