1. plug the device,
2. don't look for drivers (it will not find them);
3. delete the device from the Device Manager;
4. reboot the PC with the device in;
5. ensure that you see the new drive in "Computer" (wow! works!..);
6. when asked for driver (!) click "ask again later" or else the drive will
die (oops);
7. now you can use the flash drive as ususal, but each time when asked for
driver look up say "ask again later".
