That's right.
|This is not necessary if you are using a more recent operating system

...e.g. Linux (which is FREE).
|Now that raises the question, which driver to use?
|You can install a generic driver from this below website

|Also to note, after installing the driver from this file and doing a restart,
|I had to remove the device from the device manager in My Computer
|and do another restart for the software to load
|and then my flashdrive appeared in my computer icon.

Folks who have used a proper OS (like FREE
Linux)
just laugh at the reboot, reboot, reboot nonsense Windoze users have to tolerate
due to the stupid Windows Registry.
You should ONLY **have** to reboot when you replace your OS kernel.
