No...the u3 stuff installed and was working (except for the removal
function)...I wanted the stick for readyboost, so I deleted off the U3 crap
via u3.com...Ultimate sees the drive fine and has never asked for a
driver...Treats it as a regular USB drive since installation...I have the
stick inside my desktop so I never remove it...
