Hi!
if you use Windows XP or earlier, then - right click on your flash drive, goto "properties" -> uncheck "read only" checkbox.

If you use Win 7 or Vista - then use administrator account to run format (shift+right click on program, choose "run as administrator" ). the easiest way in Win7/Vista to format your flash drive is: Start -> all programs -> Accessories -> shift+right click on command prompt -> "run as administrator" -> type fromat driver_letter /q /y and press enter (e.g. if your flash driver has letter z, then you need to type format z /q /y and press enter). This will quickly format your flash drive.

If you use Linux/Unix/MAC OS, then you can use GParted or following command in terminal:

1. su
2. Enter password when asked
3. fdisk /dev/your_flash_drive_name (e.g. dev/sda/)
mkfs -t vfat /dev/your_flash_drive_name

Hope that will help :)

Hi. Acually sir your usb flash drive is a plug and play device. Just plug it in on your computer and it should automatically be detected by your computer if you're using Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. If you're pertaining to the Windows 98 driver you can download the driver on this link http://www.kingston.com/support/USBFLASHDRIVES/downloads/default.asp?s=DTI_HS , just click the DTI.EXE then it will let you download the driver for your usb. Goodluck!

Have you tried finding the drivers for the USB Flash Drive?

Sometimes XP may need a compatibility drivers.

See here:


Brother: MFC-665CW: Downloads: Others

If you also need to change settings after installing software read here

Note: the model is quite old, drivers for newer Windows versions may not be available.

For example this is download for 98/ME :
Brother: MFC-665CW: Downloads: Drivers: United States

Here instead is driver for Windows XP

The people at your local computer shop are wrong but, Windows 98 should at least recognize the USB thumb-drive and ask for drivers.
I would remove all the USB Controllers from within Device Manager and restart; allow Windows upon restart to reload the USB Controllers; then plug in the drive and see if Windows at least recognizes and then install drivers.
It seems only the DTI/XX, KUSBDTE/XX, and DTII/XX support Windows 98.
