Trouble Installing USB Flash Drive

Installating my newly purchased SanDisk USB Flash Drive is supposed to happen automatically on plug in. When I plug it into the USB port my Inspiron 5000e with Millenium recognizes the new hardwasre and begins installing the Flash Drive software but at some point during installation it prompts me to insert the original Millenium CD that supposedly came with my notebook. My notebook came with the system already loaded and the only 3 CDs I have is that came with the laptop are labeled: 1.) For the Reinstallation of Windows Me; 2.) Backup: Dell-Installed Programs; and, 3.) Drivers and Utilities / Dell Inspiron 5000e System Software. Any suggestions as what to do? Thanks. R.J.

    did you try inserting the Reinstallation of Windows Me cd?
    alternatively if that doesn't work, see if there are cab files in the windows folder & point the install wizard to that folder for the files.

    Installing USB devices in windows ME can sometimes be a handfull. as bacillus pointed out, it might ask you for cab files which can be located in the windows me disk

    Try loading the Win98SE driver that should have come with the drive or download
    from Sandisk.
