Undeletable partition/content on USB pen drive

[swpvideo]

I am trying to find a way to create an un-deletable partition/content on a USB pen drive.
Basically my client wants to give customers a pen drive as a welcome gift with some multimedia and document content already recorded on a partition of the drive. The rest of the drives capacity would be for the customer to use as normal. Is there a software or method I can use to prevent erasure of this content?

I'm going to say that's not possible what you may try is creating a folder with read only rights and hope they aren't smart enought to go into security permissions take ownership of the folder and change the permissions

I have just found a method that works, so for others who want to create an "Autoload, undeletable partition on a USB stick" follow this link http://blog.usboffice.kr/?p=146

@Paresh. There are companies that create such. So far if you use a common off the shelf drive, I can format it using a number of tools. The drives these companies use are "special."
