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.

Recommended Posts. Posted May 29, Hi all, my older USB external hard disk is dying and I need to buy a new one to back up my data.

After the driver is on your modern computer, you need to transfer it to the W98 PC.
There are a few ways to do this such as a CD or a floppy disk. If your W98 computer doesn't have a CD drive, you can always pick them up for a few bucks at a thrift store.
Once you get the driver on the W98 PC, you are going to want to put it somewhere easy to access like your Desktop or Documents. This is extremely important if you aren't using a mouse for the installation. Before you install the driver, you are going to have to delete all of the old USB drivers. You can do this by right-clicking on "My Computer" if you don't have a mouse, use tab and arrow keys to select "My Computer" and press the menu key. All that is left is to run "nusb36e".
Just run the driver, accept the Licence Agreement, and install it. After you are done, simply restart the computer and when it reboots you should have access to USB flash drives.
Something to keep in mind: I can't guarantee that every drive will work, so if your drive is still not recognized, try a different flash drive. I'd also suggest using USB 2. If everything worked properly, you should now have access to external storage. Now you can transfer files freely. Something to keep in mind, however, is that you still have to make sure the files you are trying to transfer are supported by W This includes things like word documents and zip files.
Something else to keep in mind is that your W98 computer probably only has a couple of gigs of storage so this can also be used as a semi-permanent storage option if you just leave your drive plugged into the back of your PC.
