USB Pendrive ask for restart.

Hi all, not really the most riveting question but it is annoying all the same.
When I connect a USB pen drive to my computer (Windows 2000 Pro)
it says it has found new hardware and has to install it every time, the annoying bit is that it has to restart after each install.
I have to transfer data on to about 40 Pen drives so this is going to take me ages.
The pen drives have our own company branding (i think they are relatively cheap) and did not come with a driver disc, any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks,
Danny

A USB hub or add-in card with more ports would make things go a little faster.
