[chirp_users] Bootable Chirp CD & Thumb-drive

[Tom Morris]

If a fake flash drive is a concern, use H2TestW as mentioned here.
http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.com/2008/11/24/h2testw-gold-standard-in-detecting-fake-capacity-flash/

If the drive's good, it should work with no errors. If it's burned with a
fake capacity, it'll let you know what the real capacity was.

Also, if the drive is not fake but has a defect, it'll catch that too. I
have had several Sandisk MicroSD cards go bad and H2TestW reminds me that
the corruption problems aren't my fault, it's the card's... zowie!
