Free Computer Technical Support :: Installing USB Mass Storage Devices on Windows 98
USB flash drives and other USB mass storage based devices are becoming more and more common. Unfortunately, they often do not come with drivers because Windows Me, 2000, 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. Windows 98, especially in it s second edition also known as Windows 98SE, handles USB fairly well, however there are no generic/universal mass storage device drivers preinstalled in the operating system, so you will need to install some additional drivers for it. 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.
If you are using Windows 98, and you do not know the manufacturer of the storage device, or you can t find the drivers, what can you do. Fortunately, there are some generic Windows 98 USB mass storage device drivers available that work with most such devices. This means that these drivers will work with many makes and models of the following:
USB Flash Drives also known as Pen Drives, or Thumb Drives
Digital Photo and Video Cameras that connect to the PC via USB
USB Hard Drives
MP3 Players including Apple iPod from v2.4
Sony PlayStation Portable PSP
