SSD Desktop and Laptop. SSD Server. Encrypted USB Drives. SSD Hardware Encrypted. Hi thanks for the wonderful help. It works. However, strangely it never asked for the Windows CD. I am able to read a recently purchased 32 GB drive. Thanks a ton. Would love to be in touch as I am a regular Win 98SE user courtesy my home recording setup that I started in I think my problem had to do with the usb I was using.
I just picked up the cheapest 4gb one i could find at a nearby store and voila! Every time I try to open it a windows pops up asking me to format it. I get the windows telling me to format again. Thank you again. It tries to boot up ok but runs into a stop that displays tht it has found the USB port and needs a driver for it.
I tried several times with different versions of drivers, but this one did the job properly. Many, many thanks!!! The people who give their knowledge freely are to be commended.
Thank youall sooo much. Sure wish I could do this job for the old lady. Can anyone help please. Pam Vincent. After restart and after insertion of the USB flash drive it successfully installed itself. Thank you. I need a widows 98 format disc or instructions on how to format my laptop so I can install xp.
Regards richard. This software is the treasure! Regardeless of all disclaimers and warnings, it worked out just fine.
Rens 2 months ago. The "Add New Hardware" wizard did not open by default. I ran the wizard but it didn't detect any new hardware.
Nowhere in the system was either the NIC or the second modem recognized. I thought perhaps maybe I didn't have the right drivers, so I decided to load some on.
To test it out, I plugged a flash drive into the computer and the Add New Hardware Wizard opened and prompted for drivers. I then loaded the floppy disk and manually ran the. It installed and rebooted. But when I plugged a flash drive in again, the Add New Hardware Wizard no longer opened automatically, and the flash drive was still not recognized in my computer. I have nothing against floppy disks, really, but being able to use USB flash drives would be far more practical.
This wouldn't be as important if I could get one of the modems to work, but right now neither is working. I believe someone is getting an external US Robotics 56k modem for me on eBay at the moment, and my hunch is external modems are more reliable than internal modems so that one may work more seamlessly. I'm not so sure though, given my problems so far.
I extracted the files for the second driver but I found just a bunch of ". I didn't do anything after that. I am following the procedures available online for getting Windows 98 to work with USB 2. Do I just need drivers, or is some other change required? My main reason for needing USB 2. I have a feeling I may need to do trial and error to get the right drivers, and given the capacity of a floppy disk that route would not really be practical.
At the moment, however, floppy disks are the only thing working perfectly for me. Fortunately, there are some generic drivers available, such as from here. I found this site by searching the web for "windows 98 usb mass storage driver" - other sites are available with similar drivers.
You'll need the version for Second Edition. This particular driver is a self-installing EXE file, so it's just a case of running the downloaded file and rebooting afterwards. I used them myself some years ago and can attest to the fact that they work, although there is a warning on the website that they may not work with all available USB mass storage devices.
One solution is to use a USB-to-Floppy interface adapter. One brand of these is Gotek. You can even mount it in a drive bay, perhaps in place of the original floppy drive. The computer will think it's reading a floppy disk when it's actually reading a floppy image file on a USB stick. But not many manufacturers provided them, limiting usable USB drives. You just use the CF card as a removable Hard drive. Old game consoles and some laptops use them instead of real HDDs.
I still have one working in here. You can do this by right-clicking on "My Computer" if you don't have a mouse, use tab and arrow keys to select "My Computer" and press the menu key. All that is left is to run "nusb36e". Just run the driver, accept the Licence Agreement, and install it. After you are done, simply restart the computer and when it reboots you should have access to USB flash drives. Something to keep in mind: I can't guarantee that every drive will work, so if your drive is still not recognized, try a different flash drive.
I'd also suggest using USB 2. If everything worked properly, you should now have access to external storage. Now you can transfer files freely. Something to keep in mind, however, is that you still have to make sure the files you are trying to transfer are supported by W This includes things like word documents and zip files.
Something else to keep in mind is that your W98 computer probably only has a couple of gigs of storage so this can also be used as a semi-permanent storage option if you just leave your drive plugged into the back of your PC. So guys, I hope you enjoyed this instructable and found it useful.
