external dirve on usb not showing

I am trying to plug my venturer mp3 player with the usb
cord into my comp running on windows 98 and my external
drive isn't appearing in my control panel.

I even seemed to have installed drivers onto my comp from
the windows 98 cd and an external drive still does not appear.

Do I need a different driver? My mp3 player did not come
with any software and cannot find any venturer drivers at
totally drivers.com.

I had no problem plugging it in with Windows Me.

What's the catch with windows 98?
