Hi Paul,

I'm not certain I'm on the right track here , but isn't UDF used for optical
drives only ?

MORE INFORMATION
You are most likely to see UDF in the following cases (this is not a
complete list):
• DVD-ROM or DVD-video.
• CD-Rs or DVDs that were recorded on certain consumer electronics devices
(such as DVD-VCRs or digital cameras).
• CD-R/RWs that were recorded on a computer recorder through the use of a
"drag-and-drop" recording software package.
• DVD-R/RWs or DVD+R/RWs or DVD-RAMs that were recorded on a computer
recorder.

Some common "drag-and-drop" or "drive letter access" recording packages that
can generate UDF-format discs are:
• B's Clip (from BHA)
• DirectCD (from Adaptec/Roxio)
• InCD (from Ahead)
• PacketCD (from CeQuadrat)
• RecordNow MAX, MyCD, PrimoCD, and PrimoDVD (from Veritas)
• Write DVD! (from Software Architects)

If you have some sort of UFD image of a disk , you might want to use some
kind of Virtual CD software to mount that image.

Hope this helps.
 
In general yes. but it's also used in storage systems to gain the best
efficiency from the drives.
