| 277218 | 2004-09-30 11:56:00 | I want to use a usb memory stick, (travelling disk) to transfer data from a windows 98se machine to my laptop running XP pro. How do I get Windows 98 to recognise the stick. Any help greatly appreciated. | Newteach (4990) | ||

| 277220 | 2004-09-30 12:00:00 | the usb pen drive should have come with drivers for 98 Normally on a cdrom install those into 98. IF they weren't supplied search google for the manufacturer and model I.E. usb dse 128 | beama (111) | ||
| 277221 | 2004-09-30 12:03:00 | If you already have the disk it should also come with a driver disk as win 98 needs a specific driver for any usb flash device that is installed. Me ,2000 and xp have a generic driver .If you haven't aquired a usb flash drive yet make sure it does come with a driver disk as many of the cheaper ones do not or tell you to download one from their website. | the highlander (245) | ||
| 277222 | 2004-09-30 21:53:00 | As the others have said, you need to install the device's driver for Windows 98. I have also found that the computer often needs a reboot after installing the driver before Windows will complete the installation. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 277223 | 2004-09-30 23:49:00 | Be careful I bought a Communist Chinese memory usb memory card reader. It works fine on XP on my laptop. But I have spent hours trying to get it to work in W98SE but its not a happening thing. Not sure wether its Communist junk or wether W98 is treated as abandonware. tedheath |
