I remember that like MS-DOS, it was possible to simply install the new C drive as a D drive and copy everything from the C drive to the D, then change the jumpers so the new drive is now a master...

A while ago I backed up my Win98SE computer's hard drive to a virtual machine virutal disk drive. When I tried to copy everything back, the dates on the various folders were not preserved no matter what I did. Nor were the file dates preserved. Now that Windows is up and running after swapping...

I feel so limited only being able to buy SanDisk Cruzer flash drives because they are the only one I know of that will work with my old Windows 98SE computer. What other brand of thumb drives can I buy and where can I obtain the drivers to use them?
