Reply: (edit)Hi, You will need the correct drivers for Win 98 or Win 98 SE for the flash drive and USB 2 USB 2 is a possible WIN 98 SE, but drivers for WIN 98 and USB 2 devices are not very common. I gave up trying to get WIN 98 SE and USB 2 working and upgraded to XP. It can be done but is not reliable. Solution may be to upgrade the WIN 98 or 98SE to XP. Upgrade the memory to a minimum of 256MB. Upgrading to XP will also need a PCI USB 2 card and Service Pack One or Two. hth Ceri

Reply: (edit)You must install the drivers before connecting the flash drive. Run the CD that came with the drive, reboot, then connect the drive.
