If yes, you'll be able to store your documents on it. Depending on the model of MP3 player you have then it may have a disk mode function. If yes, you’ll be able to store your documents on it.

However, do NOT store files at all long-term on the small flash drives. They are NOT intended for long-term storage. Although they have advantages over hard-drives (for example, with no moving parts, if you drop one it's not going to get damaged). But Flash memory is not as stable as people like to think, and all it takes is one time forgetting to properly eject the drive and you could have corruption. If you need to store your files off your hard drive, your best bet is a backup hard drive. Use the little USB flash drives as a means of transporting files from one device/computer to another, not as long-term storage. Flash memory can also develop some odd corruptions after a lot of use, and will do so without warning. It is possible, although unlikely, that you could plug in the drive one day and it will not be recognized or the files will be corrupted. So do give consideration to another method of storing files.

In the digital format(which we are speaking at the moment) data is stored code in 0 and 1s or ect. When you copy and paste the exact same code is rewritten in your drive. If you abandon the process in the middle of copying or some software error occurs you might lose data. What i feel is that it is better for you to use a external hard disk rather than a flash drive. This way you can buy a hard disk with a greater capacity and wouldn't have to take the trouble of copying files.

But, I have done this with win xp many times. I have a working copy of it on a flash drive and use it to boot up the machine. Also, I had to plug any usb hdd / ipod etc. before I started booting or else it would not be recognized. The video resolution could be poor but you can do what you want i.e. transfer the files. As for showing up the drivers for the flash drive - there's no need. Win XP or Win 7 have inbuilt drivers for flash drivers. Win 7 is v new so don’t have any idea about it on a flash drive.

Good luck with windows vista or 7 though. You cant just custom install where you install it. The programming is meant to not allow installation to a flash drive. If you are nifty with source code you can alter it to allow it. I have successfully loaded windows xp and various versions of linux on a flash drive. Good luck with windows vista or 7 though.
