In particular, LiIons should not be run all the way down to prevent "memory effect". First, they don't have a memory effect, and second, running them down tends to reduce their capacity. If the laptop does not need the battery it should be run to about 40% charge and stored in a cool place.

A driver is required for systems with the Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) version installed (some elder versions of Windows 98 will not support USB devices). All newer versions of Windows (newer than Windows 98 SE) do not require a driver for USB flash devices. Windows NT (all Service Pack versions) will not support "Plug-n-Play" devices. Therefore USB flash drives will not work on such systems.

Check the back of the USB drive packaging for three boxes. The box that is checked will be the required driver for a Win 98 system. The driver can also be determined by plugging the USB drive into a Win ME, 2000 or XP system and follow the below instructions: Then you will see: "Flash Drive SM_2.0 USB Device," use the "SM Driver" or "Flash Drive UT_USB20 USB Device," use the "UT Driver."

Move the switch to the unlock sign and plug it into your USB socket. You should now have two drives in Windows Explorer. Make sure that you eject the device safely before moving any switches.
