flash drive

In message , hussain writes If anyone is using a flash drive through USB and the device doesnt work than you probably need a driver. I had the same problem and found a driver. I would help you out by sending you the driver if you need it. And different devices need different drivers - even different flash/pen drives. In addition, IME, it's a matter of pot luck whether they'll work OK under '98, even if the driver/drive is claimed to be OK for '98. (When it hasn't, the driver has usually appeared to load OK, but the drive still wouldn't work.) There is a universal USB driver around for '98 (well, universal for pen drives and cameras). I'm not sure if there are more than one (there are certainly various editions of one of them), because: I tried it on this computer, _without_ removing the drivers for the drives I already had. It screwed things up rather - I can't remember how, but it took me a while before I got things back working (I might have just restored with ERD). I think the older version of that Generic USB driver (nusb23 or 24) didn't have that problem, but my memory may be off. I have set up two systems using soporific's "Windows 98 - tenth anniversary edition", which includes a universal USB driver, and that aspect has worked fine. -- J. P. Gilliver.

"Sunny" wrote in message ... "MEB" meb@not wrote in message ... At some other time that might be viable to offer drivers for USB/Flash devices, however, since that happens to be one of the primary attack methods being used within the last two or three weeks [not coming from direct web based attacks] I doubt you would find any "takers" right now. References: US Army has banned USB, Flash, external drives, CDROMS, and other devices due to worm. Malware was giving away on USB devices at recent Electronics Fair... {do the searches, try to keep up} How quickly people forget :-) "Any storage device which is attached to a computer should be checked for virus and other malware before use. Floppy disks, CD ROMs, USB keys, external hard drives and other devices are all capable of carrying malicious code which could infect the computers of innocent users." Yes, even brand new 'out-of-the-box' supposedly unused, clean hardware. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/sup...rage/ps3200-sw |

Same here. And I think it's wrong. The solution for him is to 1) copy the stuff off of the Flash Drive to a HD, 2) get a new flash drive that is compatible with Win98 (has the drivers, and you have to look for these, they're getting harder to find), and 3) transfer the saved HD contents it over to the new Flash drive. Not a big deal. One such drive was one of the Sony Microvault series (check the specs). First thing I did when I got it was to erase or reformat it to get rid of the junk they put on it, so it is JUST a basic Flash drive (without all that other stuff they put on it). |
