    have you watched Demo Video on 1st page description (half way down page)? ... pay attention to USB Controller settings, and Removable Drive Settings "SanDisk" is "ticked" to connect.

    Im using vmware player and yea i watched the video a few times. Worked before, Ill give it a try again.
    Believe i ticked alot.

    Edit: Vmware doesnt recognise the usbmemories.. I ticked "Enable highspeed support for usb2 devices" and "Automatically connect new usb devices"

    hmm ...

    open Control ... Administrative Tools ... Services

    and check for VMware USB Arbitration Service; it should be "started" and "Automatic" setting

    @Hackemate...

    unfortunately, I have not seen a "leaked" slic2.1.bin for Supermicro ... so unable to add that brand at this time.

    It does nothing to PC it patches VMWare bios with slp1.0 string for XP and SLIC 2.1 into vmware-vmx.exe for windows 7 OEM SLP installs.
