As with most USB flash drives, the TravelDrive and Mini TravelDrive were very easy to install. Those running Windows ME, 2000 or XP can simply plug them into any available USB port on their computer. If the computer is already turned on, plug and play will automatically detect the drives.

According to Memorex, both TravelDrives are also compatible with Windows 98 SE. Take note that you will need to install some drivers before they can be used with this OS. While not included with either flash drive, they can be downloaded form Memorex's website.

If installed correctly, the flash drives should show up in the Device Manager. Under Windows XP, the TravelDrive is identified as a "Memorex TD CLASSIC 003B" and the Mini TravelDrive as a "Memorex Mini TD 001B".
