Watch our Welcome Guide to learn how to use this site. Joined Dec 8, Messages 3. I have no other backup at the moment. When I click Properties the error message is Code "This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed. When I click "Update Driver", then Search for a better driver, then location c:, it says the best driver Windows found is already installed for this device.
Question two: Is this really a USB flash drive driver? Why is it picking this driver? Is there a way to get it to pick the correct driver? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or should I just order a Windows 98SE compatible device online? I was hoping to back up my files sooner rather than later as I risk losing 9 years' worth of data on this PC. Joined Apr 28, Messages I am assuming that you extracted the driver for the USB drive?
If you did you need to direct the computer to the driver file. USB devices can be complicated in Windows 98 if they are not natively supported. 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.

It didn't boot the first time but I cycled the power and it booted up fine, more or less. 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. So you use one such adapter in your old computer and in the new one you just need a card reader, or another adapter if PATA is still an option.
In your case, I would first try the on-board USB 1. The usual stuff that I installed was:. You can find those in here How to patch binaries in DOS?
This is certainly possible with third-party software. NUSB :. NUSB in languages other than English. Mirror 1 :.
