Universal Flash Drive USB Driver

Comment:
I was given 2, 64MB USB flash drives (Hitachi Data Systems USB 64MB with S/Ns) and a driver minidisk. Unfortunately, I lost the disk when I moved, before I had a chance to install the driver.
Does anyone know of a universal USB driver that handles most/all of these USB drives? Or maybe a tool that identifies more specs on the drive?
All I found online was a Win98 USB patch and device viewer from Microsoft. Hitachi's site and all other forums I've searched had zip.

I'm just emailed you an installation file for a micro advantage 64 meg flash drive. It's zipped so extract it with something like winzip and then run the extracted file.
It has an uninstall program so if it doesn't work you can remove it.
Post back results.
