On my windows 98 when I put in a usb flash drive the plug and play new hardware comes up to install it but their isn't a driver for it. My computer is an emachines 400i and it knows what it is any help would be appreciated.

I have experienced flash drives that will not work with Win98. Go to the Flash drive makers web site and see if it has Win 98 support. They may provide a driver, or you may be out of luck.

thanks for replying but I figured it out it was looking for the files in the wrong place.
