It depends on the ';older'; version of windows you are talking about but here is the basic idea:


1. Windows XP and 2000: you need to do nothing else but connect the usb drive. The drive should be automatically detected by XP/2k.


2. Windows 98 %26amp; ME: You need the USB driver. Once you install it you'll be able to use the USB drive. You can find the driver here: http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/win98se-usb-mass-storage-drivers.php
