Further to my previous post here: http://liamcrayden.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-adb-usb.html
I am most disgusted at having to install Samsung Kies just to have the drivers available for my Samsung Galaxy Note. When connecting my phone to a system without Kies, even if I just want to use it as a mass storage device, I have to repeatedly click through dialog boxes to get rid of drivers that Windows can't find.
CDC Serial
SAMSUNG_Android
ADB etc etc.
Installing Samsung Kies does indeed install these drivers and get rid of those driver installation prompts every time I plug in my phone, but its also over 200MB in size (and thats just the compressed download!) and is full of bloatware which seriously impacts the performance and startup time of my PC.
For those of you in my position, here are the drivers that you need. You can use these without Kies.
FOR ADVANCED USERS (install these through Device Manager manually) 4MB:http://www.crayden-group.co.uk/secure/galaxy_note_drivers.zip
