If your version of Windows Me is a OEM version ,in other words it was installed by the manufactuer of the PC ,then all of the installation files should be in .cab files on your H.D. If its a upgrade to WinMe that you did yourself ,the needed drivers will be on the C.D. When I purchased my 256M.B. PNY Thumb drive USB , it said that it was plug and play for Windows Me and Windows XP ,for Windows 98 they provided a cd with the drivers needed. When using my thumb drive for the frist time ,I recieved an error notice that all of the needed drivers where not present. It did list which drivers I needed and I found them in .cab files in my Windows /options/install/cabs. I believe it was 3 driivers I had to extract from the cabinet files B/4 Windows informed me that the drive was fully installed. I dont have the thumb drive attached to my PC at this time ,or I would look at the driver file details in the thumb drives properties and list them for you !
Good Luck Nick
