Solve : Got a USB thumb drive... XP asking for drivers...?!?

Answer»

I picked up a 2GB usb thumb drive YESTERDAY and when I plug it into my computer (XP Pro), it FINDS new HARDWARE.. then brings up the FOUND New Hardware wizard which wants me to install drivers for it.

These things didn't come with any drivers.. they were just in a pile in a bin, no packaging or anything.

What am I supposed to do? There's no model number on it. It just says "Micro Center" (the name of the store). They were giving these AWAY free with a coupon sent out to tons of people.Cancel out of the driver setup.
Right click My Computer and select Manage
Choose Disk Management and see if the drive is listed...if so select Format.

Re-boot without the thumb drive in and re-insert it and you should be able to use it properly.
This is because they buy them in Bulk and some have the U3 protection on them which you don't need...
