USB Flash Drive

[Jon/xpm]

I need to transfer my music from my old computer into my new computer

I am pretty much in the desk on how these work...

Can i transfer music?
Any problems i may face?
Will a usb flash drive work on my old pentium 3 computer?
Suggest Brands? (looking to buy a 512 or 1gb)
Thanks

Flash drives are like any sort of storage medium, they can store whater you dump on them. It should work fine on the P3, but if you're running windows 98 you will need to install a driver. As far as brands, I don't think it particularly matters - they're fairly simple things. I have two from Lexar that I've never had an issue with, even when writing to them on a daily basis for a few months.

lol does rain fall?

Seriously though, it should be ok, though you may need a driver like with 98. I've never had an ME machine so I can't say for sure.

Windows Me doesn't have native USB support -- that support was built into Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP1. However, many USB flash drives still provide a drivers disc containing USB drivers for support (since I have a Windows XP machine, I can't tell you whether or not those drivers discs work...). I've received one for nearly every retail flash drive that I've purchased, so I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding one.
