Question How to convert ordinary flash drive into U3 smart drive?


Hey friends,
I have a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 1GB U3. I am quite happy with its 'smart' features(i.e the U3 features)

Now, I also have a 1GB Transcend V30 flash drive. I want to convert it into a U3 smart drive. Is there any method to do that? I don't want to use MojoPac or any such paid software.

Thanks in advance!!!

its a feature in flash drives by which special u3-capable software can be installed on the flash drive and run directly off it. there is no need to install that software on the host machine. read the digit's shootout of pen drives. the description of u3 is given in a box there

anyone knows the solution to my problem???
