"USB flash drive"

If I get a USB flash drive will XP automatically recognise it or will I have to trawl around for drivers on t'internet?

Theres some ones going fairly cheap on ebay but I want to be sure they'll be useful first.

Tuesday.

I'm currently bidding £13 for a 64mb one with an extention lead & 1 years warranty. Not a bad deal I don't think.

I got a Creative MuVo NX 256MB this week *smug*, and although it is primarily an MP3 player, it doubles as a USB Flash drive.

As soon as I plug it into my USB port, it shows up as "F: Removable Drive" and I can use it straight away. No installation necessary.

Of course, this post is a bit late, but I just thought I'd confirm it for you.

When do I get my cheque?

What the man says.

I have 3 and they all auto installed fine on XP.

Well the newbie one I forgot the password to - I put it as "login each time", so when I rebooted XP (a rare occasion) it was gone. Whoops.

Why Jat account?

Ok thanks dude(S)

99% of the time it's just plug and play with XP.

Nearly all pen drives will work with nothing to install.
