Downloading drivers to a flash drive

Hi, I was advised by a Dell technician a while ago that it is recommended to download the latest device drivers from the Dell Support site to a USB stick before doing a clean installation of Windows 8. Should I download the drivers to my hard drive c: drive and then copy and paste them over to the USB flash drive. I don't know if you have to copy them over to a folder on the Computers hard disc C: drive first and then install them from there? Ive never done this before and Im unfamiliar with USB flash drives.

If I select the device drivers on the USB stick will it correctly install to the C:drive hard drive or will it attempt to install to the USB flash drive? The fastest way to download drivers is to your computer. You can copy them to a flash drive or other accessible storage device. You can run them from the external storage or copy them back to the new install and run from there.
