My question is similar another one but I'm trying to do something realistic.
Background
Windows will not let you install the OS to a thumbdrive as it passes a flag when you plug it in that its a removable drive.
Problem
I'm trying to disguise a thumb drive (128gb) as in internal disk-drive so I can install windows to it.
Attempts
I was thinking that an approach I could use was mount the USB on Windows using a M-sata to F-USB adapter. I have an USB 3.0 & eSATA to SATA Hard Drive Docking Station that I could plug the adapter into.
What would you do? I was unable to find any USB-F -> M-SATA adapters, or other suggestions online. Maybe I could daisy chain something else together.
