Help ! USB Memory Pen Drivers ?

Hi All

Does anyone know were I can download drivers for a USB Memory Pen.

I need to transfer some files from an old computer to a new laptop, but the old computer says I need to install drivers?

Any ideas....

Thanks

    Depends if they are available for the particular pen drive. What is the exact make and model?

    Manufacturer's website will have them, that is probably the only place you will get them unless you are very lucky and you have a generic one that inside is the same as other companies pen drives and you may be able to use the other companies drivers. I have found that very few pen drive will use other pen drives drivers each time I have connected my different drives to the same pc I have had to install the specific drivers.

    Not necessarily! I have been looking for a flashdrive for someone with WIN98SE and was going to buy a Kingston, however their website now states that their later versions have discontinued support for WIN98SE see here

    Many later flashdrives don't support the old OS's now.
