basically there is a chip in the drive aside from the storage that when plugged into the computer makes the computer think that the drive is actually a CD drive, this allows U3 to use the autoplay features on computers that don't work with autoplay on flash drives(almost every computer will run autoplay files from a CD, but very few if any will run autoplay files from a flash drive, for safety reasons mostly).
