What I found was a generic Windows 98SE USB mass storage device driver that will work with many makes and models of the following: This following method which I’m about to show you can work for most USB mass storage devices if your Windows 98 has detection problems.

Predictably, Kingston offers no support for their devices in Windows 98 so no driver can be installed to pick up the flash drive.Īfter much searching and testing, I finally managed to install the Kingston DataTraveler on Windows 98. 98SE doesn’t come with a generic mass storage driver that would install support for all standard USB storage devices like newer Windows versions, so not every device you insert will simply get recognised. Windows 98SE is actually not too bad at handling mass storage drivers for a USB storage device IF you have a driver disc that accompanied it or a download is available. The immediate problem was getting the flash drive to work.

I’ve tried compatibility mode on Windows XP and it doesn’t work either, so it’s either upgrade the software or continue using Windows 98. Updating the old software is very expensive, so the decision was to stay with Windows 98 and try to source parts that can support this ageing operating system. The problem is, due to some obsolete software that needs to run on Windows 98, the computer cannot be upgraded to newer versions of Windows such as 8, 7, Vista or even Windows XP. There is actually a third party Service Pack for Windows 98 Second Edition which is still being updated well into 2013, even though Microsoft ended their support for Windows 98 on the 11th of July 2006! Obviously, hardware support from all major manufacturers has ended years ago so if you or your company still run Windows 98 in some capacity, it’s incredibly difficult to find compatible hardware and software for it.Īs an example, a company I did some work for a while back purchased a Kingston Data Traveler USB flash drive for backup purposes on a computer that’s still running Windows 98.
(I even became a forum member to reply to you.Although Windows 98 has been out of general circulation for well over a decade now, it might come as a surprise to some people that it’s still actively in use, especially in a business or specialized environment for running old software. Anyway it your solution worked like a charm. I figured I couldn't call Dell since it wasn't a Dell device. Unfortunately, other people may not have my limited knowledge. Fortunately, I was intelligent enough to figure out it was a driver problem. I could not get the PNY Flash Drive to work either. The Lexar site is: - and I picked Win98 SE, USB JumpDrive 1.0.įinal thought, I think Dell should have provided drivers for Win 98 on the CD's that come with a new system, even though the new system is Win XP, the whole purpose of the USB key is to transfer data, and it's very likely that data would be transfered to and from other systems which do not operate in Win XP. As an added bonus, the Lexar provides a "wizard" type installation that works like a charm - no need to get into technicalities.
Then, after reading that my Dell USB key is in fact a Lexar JumpDrive, I went to the Lexar Media site, and downloaded the drivers for Win 98, and it worked. I tried installing the Windows 98 drivers off the Dell site (Zip file) for the Dell USB key on my Win 98 computer without success.
