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.

That is Win98SE versus FE right?

You must install the drivers before connecting the flash drive. Run the CD that came with the drive, reboot, then connect the drive.
