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 :. Unfortunately, they often do not come with drivers because Windows Me, , XP and Vista all come with generic drivers already installed. This way all you need to do is plug the drive in, Windows will recognise it and you will automatically see the drive in My Computer. Some manufacturers do however, provide the Windows 98 drivers on CD, others have them available to download, and others simply do not have them available at all.
Furthermore microsoft would not create a special patch for this The reason it doesn't auto detect it is because it doesn't have the drivers to support the hardware If possible, could I copy the special file support for auto recognize pen drive's feature from Windows 98SE?
Which files I should copy? You are talking antique, obsolete W98 or W98SE. They will never auto-recognize anything, other than a CD. Similar threads N.

Need advice on replacing a Windows 10 bit installation with a bit installation. Replies 8 Views 3K. I get a message that it only works from 98 SE 4. Used the Nusb36e on an old Windows98 machine.
Rebooted and presto- it immediately recognized an older 32gb USB stick. I simply searched the files and dragged them onto a floppy disk. Now when I put a new usb drive in I simply put the floppy in and win 98 picks up the files it requires. I have several old computers with win It works on them all.
Thank you very much. I was able to use the driver in our old Win 98 computer connected to a scientific instrument to retrieve files using the usb port. Our old CD burning program was not working so I decided to use the usb in desperation. The usb port is not working in our Win 98 computer in the first place so I searched the internet for a driver.
After the download I followed the instructions and it works great. This is so helpful and I am so grateful to you sir! This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting this information. I use an old Toshiba laptop for retro gaming. I wanted to connect my external Mb HDD to the one USB port on this laptop, I was doubtful if this would work, but as soon as I installed this driver and rebooted, my external was detected as a mass storage device and works great. Thank you! I had been going around in circles beforehand.
I need to retain an older PC in order to be able to program some of the older 2-way mobile and portable radio equipment which is still soldiering on.
However, in the device manager it showed up as? But then when clicking and selecting update driver… Win98se found and loaded the general USB mass storage driver for it. Nice… I can see the files as loaded under E: drive now. It works!!! I just pop the chip and plug it into a card reader and it works! 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.
