Default Scandisk won't run on USB drive

The USB drive has 105GB used and 80GB free.

I think, the problem it that you use the drive with more than 137GB capacity.

Win98/98SE does not work with such drives properly: the generic Win98 drivers
do not support 48-bit LBA (the addressing, that is using for the drives larger
than 137GB).

The additional information:

Scandisk tells me I don't have enough memory to run when I try to check a USB drive.
It works OK when I check the internal drives. Rebooting and running Scandisk first
does not help.
The USB drive has 105GB used and 80GB free. Windows crashed while it was writing to
the drive and now I get an error telling me the drive is full when I try to add any
more files to it. I can read the existing files just fine.
I figure I need to run Scandisk. Is this right?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I'm running Win98SE 4.10 with 640MB RAM.

Thanks in advance for any assistance
