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.

Your problem is actually driver-related, not USB standard-related. Device-class support is more or less the same between USB2.
Some internal modems are WinModems and require special drivers to work. So it's very possible that you will have more luck with an external one, or at least you can rule out any driver issues. It's more likely USB 1. Almost all USB 2. Of course, you will still need drivers. Windows 98 was much more needful of loading drivers off floppy disks or CD-ROMs than more modern versions of Windows are. Even worse than the unfortunately still existent GDI printers.
Just truly horrible. After fiddling with drivers, I tried a different brand of flash drive Lexar and it worked! Windows brought up the wizard but this time detected drivers and everything worked seamlessly. Actually more seamlessly than modern versions of Windows! So perhaps some USB drives work and some do not.
The internal modem is a Compaq 56k one, the second internal modem I installed is a Dell one I believe. Show 5 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Community Bot 1. I'm marking this as answer though because trying a different flash drive did the trick.
So the problem may well be the flash drive, not the USB ports or the drivers. InterLinked Thanks. Even if this didn't actually make the difference in your case, I know from experience that it sometimes really is the issue. InterLinked different flash drive means the previous one did not have correct drivers installed or was damaged but in that case it would also not work on new computer. Add a comment.

I have an adapter to use a floppy drive to read and write SmartMedia cards, which I bought in the days before USB when its competitor was ,bps serial.
Rather than plugging into a floppy cable, the adapter went in the drive itself like a diskette. Don't know if anyone ever did a USB version of the concept, though--it would require that the USB connector itself stay outside the drive. It is significantly more complicated to transfer files that way, as you first have to create floppy images. PDR is correct. This is only a bridge across the two ports to connect a drive of one type to a connector of another type.
An add-in controller card that has its own HDD controller and ports however, is another thing entirely. Let's not further confuse rloew's tools. Once it started to boot I was not sure what to do as the owner had a sign in password so I turned off power but it was too late.
The drive had been encrypted already and we lost the data as the HDD needed maintenance - will not work on most machines.
Putting the drive on a USB port would have been the safer way to go of course in the first place but I had been less experienced at that time and not as easily done. For some reason I was using SmartRecovery program to retrieve files from what I recall and it may have been the encryption that lead me to this.
The public user files were retrievable but not files in other places. Normally all that is required to retrieve files anywhere in an off-line drive is to use Partition Explorer from Paragon to extract the files using Win9x. CAB inside.
Not all RLoew products are available like File I have the demo and it stops several games starting but no full package available. I've never had any experience with this chipset, so I can't speak from any experience with it. Maybe the SATA adapter did in fact cause something to be "reported differently" to the BIOS which allowed a drive connected through it to boot where a similar larger drive directly connected would not. It's impossible to know. Not really, if you understand how file patching works.
Each patch fixes a specific issue in a specific section of code. These can easily be mutually exclusive. Remember that even Microsoft HotFixes are "cumulative" - fixes included in previous versions are still present when a new issue is fixed. This version includes everything from the two mentioned packages plus several other fixes.
I know. There are several that even I do not have. I'm hoping that Jason does not give up on expanding the site he set up for his dad's work. All that was required was to get over the hurdle of the boot then the drivers take over. Remember the drive limit pins that were on the hard drives they allowed the larger IDE drives to boot on the old hardware. Patching yes good thank you. In Windows I have copied several hundred MB from my existing C drive to the last volume 44 gb on the sata drive and these files seem to be ok.
For me it is somewhat rare to have any IDE drives larger than 80 gb but I do have some gb IDE that I was using to build some XP systems 10 years ago I still have 1 or 2 of those drives still sealed in mylar bag.
