Go here:\nhttp://www.memorex.com/html/products_subcategory.php?section=3&CID=12&SID=16&opento=12\n\nPick your drive and then click on "Support" from the drive's page. You'll see a Download section. You can get Win98SE drivers from there. I don't think Win98 (non-SE) supports USB mass storage at all.

You can put it in your windows&#92;system32 directory and see if that helps.

Hello !\n\nYou need the brand and model for the stick, to work on Win 98.\n\nYou cand find it in driverguide.com\nUser:driver2\nPass:all\n\nOr you can search that driver on the manufacturer website. This will be the first site look for that driver then try driverguide.com\n\n\n© ßogdan @ CyE CORP.

well usually brand is a good indicator, I should say this though, Memorex is decent quality, I've used them my self \nwith no problems, Sony is good, Maxell is good, I've also \nhad good results with Fugi, yeap or even HQ, they are all \nmade pretty much the same, so you might want to reinstall\nyour software, or check your hardware.

WINME and up all have the drivers for USB flash drives/memory sticks.  WIN98 and below don't.  The manufacturers used to ship disks with the memory sticks with the 98 drivers on them but now they just say they don't support 98 so they don't send the disks anymore.  You can try the manufacturer's website and they MAY have the drivers for 98 but it's hit and miss.  Bottom line is you need to upgrade your OS to at least WINME.

For clients that have windows 98 or ME I use a little program called "Go Back" works just as good as system restore in XP

Try re-installing the drivers for the drive through the Device Manager in the Control Panel.\n\nIf you are unsure whether you have the drivers go to the manufacturer website and search for your model.\n\nThen you sgould be able to download the drivers with instructions on installation.

reformat the stick and the defrag.\nrun a diagnostic to make sure the memchip is working fine.\nrun scandisk on it. if no physical errors. then your fine. if it has physical errors mark them as bad. then format.\n the bad cluster usually occur after using the drive on a system and sometimes taking it out if the systemisn't fully usb ready. like on a 98se pc then saving from a winXP and then going back to the 98se system, the 98 system will not read the files good since it isn't as compatible. sometimes it isn't even corrupt. they just don't read good. But, if you properly disable the USB drive before removing you don't usually get the errors.

Place a Windows 98 startup disk into the floppy drive-start the pc-let the floppy take you to "a" prompt-type in format/s c: There is a space between the s and c. Once you have formatted and restarted the computer,and it is back to "A" prompt, type in the drive your disk is on- usually E:then once it is on E:, type in dir -then type in cd me-or cd 98-or cd xp(your Windows 98-or me-or xp)-then type in - setup. this should take your to the disk's program and start install.\n\n       Good luck!!!

Here's a link worth looking at.  http://www.driverguide.com/\n\nI've found compatible drivers for many different hardware products there.  Just keep in mind the Microsoft no longer supports Windows 9.X.  This means that hardware and software vendors no longer support the OS, so any thing you do is at your own risk.

First make sure that the drive is pinned correctly on the back - if you have two drives hooked up to the ribbon cable it's set to either master or slave, master for the the end of the cable, slave for the middle. You may also want to try the Cable Select (although generally for legacy compatibility) option. Since you said it shows up correctly in the bios those settings may not be the issue, but are something to consider.\n\nAlso, you'll want to check that it shows up in the device manager. Like Dusty said, check to see if it just needs a driver installed (although I've yet to see a cd rom drive that needs actual hardware drivers for even basic functionality).\n\nMy hunch is that the drive is bad. I've had it happen before where I've had a bad drive show up in the bios and not function properly in windows. The easiest way to check this is to plug it into another computer and see if the drive works in that computer.

There was a short-lived variant of 95 that supposedly had USB support, however it never worked.  That's when 98 popped onto the scene.\n\nTry updating the 95 system to Win98SE and then make your connection.

This stumped me for a while ..  It is not a Windows 98SE standard feature at all - and I've never seen in before in over 100 installs.\n\nTry installing (or reinstalling) the patch located at:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/1394/Default.asp\n\nFor more information on what the patch does, see: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=242975\n(Which is for firewire and has nothing to do with USB drives, but it happens to have the stuff to add the "safely remove hardware"...)\n\nIf you don't have a 1394 (firewire) device that required this, then the only other way it could have gotten on your system is that it was included with a USB drive and installed.\n\nDo you have a USB mass storage device?\nDid it come with driver software?\n\nIf the above Microsoft patch doesn't work - follow the original directions and reinstall it.\n\nAlso see this page: http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php\nIt has generic Win98SE USB driver link, but I don't know if it's Microsoft  - or who wrote it.\n\nAs has been previously stated (and is restated in the page in the link above) Windows 98 doesn't really need any drivers.

Try using ScanDisk if you using Windows 98/Me.  I don't think that tool is available for Windows XP.  Try accessing the drive on another PC.  If the jump drive came with drivers (especially for Windows 98) try reinstalling them.\n\nIf these steps don't work, probably you won't be able to access it anymore.
