It be on the flash drive and when you plug it in, the computer will 
recognize it as another drive.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] needing advice on how to use a flash drive


> Hi everyone,

> The packaging also said the drive is usb 2. I have heard of this, but 
> don't know a lot about it. My desktop is a Dell I bought in 2003 with XP 
> home on it. Would this system be able to run a usb 2 device?
> thanks for your help Jason
