It is used like a diskette or CD.  Just save your file to it.\n1) Portability.  No need to cart a diskette when you need to share information.\n2) Security.  Store private files on the flash drive and lock the drive up in a safe place.\n3)Expandability.  You can defer upgrading your hard drive.\n-MM

If you get a USB external HD of lets say 200gig you could partition it as two separate drives.\n\nHard drive Prices\nhttp://www.nextag.com/usb-powered-external-hard-drives/search-html?nxtg=244c0a1c0525-699B541887093E76\n\nPartition Info.\nhttp://freepctech.com/pc/001/001.shtml\n\nPS If you buy a HD the manual will have info. on how too do what you are looking for too.\n\nGood Luck :)

Try the Lexar Jumpdrive Sport. It attaches to your keychain and comes right off to connect into the USB. It comes in many different storage sizes too.

There are NO good USB ones, they are too slow!  Quality sux!  Buy a desktop and get an ATI ALL IN WONDER Card.  This is what the professionals use.

Flash Memory Thumb Drives and USB External Hard drives.  That's where it's at today.   Double Layer DVDs are cool, but don't come close to Flash and hard drives for quick access, transportability and awesome backups.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You will need two things and non of them exist if the device manufacturer didn't make one.\n\nFirst off you need a driver for electronics of the drive casing, that was written for windows 98. Next you need a device specific Mass Storage Driver for windows 98.\n\nIf you plug the drive into windows 98 and it says found new hardware on startup with the text 632T in it hten that is for the drive enclosure. Since you didn't get  a disk with the External box i am going to assume your manufacturer didn't make a device specific mass storage driver for windows 98 which means you are out of luck unless you can contact the manufacturer and see if they have a good solution.\n\nI only say device specific mass storage driver because microsft never wrote a generic mass storage driver for windows 98. flash drives that work under windows 98, can do so becuase they have a device specific mass storage driver installed onto windows 98.\n\nThe mass storage driver is built into windows 2000/XP so your box need no drivers for those operating systems. It is plug and play in the true sense of the word.\n\nupgrade to windows 2000 or XP, windows 98 reaches end of life on 11 July 2006, i.e. no more support from Microsoft, and no more support from device manufacturers.\n\nhttp://www.tgdaily.com/2006/07/03/microsoft_supportcutoff_windows98/\n\nInfo about hte mass storage driver\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

Any Portable Solid State (PSS) MP3 player works as both a USB pen drive and an MP3 player. My Aigo 208 1GB MP3 Player works fine as both, for example.\n\nMake sure it's solid state (rather than a hard disk) and it should work fine as a USB pen drive.

Zip is a thicker disk and has 70x (100MB), 174x (250MB), or 521x (750MB) the capacity of a floppy. 100MB (70x) Zips were the original, and 750MB are the latest version.  They offer a pretty economical solution to portable data storage.  USB flash drives are more compact and will work on most machines with USB connectivity if you just need to move data around and not keep it for a while.  If you do need to keep data, I would be inclined to burn CDs instead of using Zip disks as CD burners are cheaper than Zip drives and the CDs can be read on any machine without special Zip drive hardware. Blank CD media is also cheaper than blank Zip media.

You'll probably want to purchase a USB hard drive or a DVD writer.  Depending on your literacy with computers, I would suggest buying an external drive.  \n\nIf you don't want external devices porting from your PC, I would suggest getting a motherboard with RAID and mirror your data.  You can go to any search engine to look up RAID and for external devices.\n\nWestern Digital is the best by far for external devices.\n\nGigabyte has really good motherboards.\n\n\nHope this helps\n\nI just read that you have an Apple, you are going to want to get an external Hard Drive off of the apple.com website or purchase an Ipod the expensive ones cost about $299.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com
