I have a an Old Dell Optiplex GX270. Whenever I try to install a USB Fralsh Drive onto it, there are a number of problems. First, it hands and secondly, it asks for some drivers which I can't even find online. What might be the problem?

First of all, have you tried inserting other flash disk drives or other usb devices, to determine if the same problem occurs. Also, what's your operating system? Anyway, since you mentioned that your computer is having a problem finding the appropriate drivers for the usb drive, I guess that is the potential cause of the problem. Also, you could try this, restart your computer, then while it starts to boots, quickly press F8 to load and choose "safe mode", this will load the computer with default settings, drivers, etc. Check if your flash disk will work on the computer.
