Western digital usb driver windows 98

I figured I would give this a try because I was starting to get desperate at this point. I had already gone through over a dozen CD-R disks in an attempt to find the right drivers and had one more left. Took a chance and burned this software to my very last CD and installed it. It read and installed my 16gb flash drive immediately. No more burning disks to copy files to my laptop. I had long known this was possible I think Phils Computer Lab has something like this linked but this was a well-written, easy to understand process.

Thank you, it worked the first time, now I can copy large files over without the need for taking stuff apart. It did not work for me.

I get a message that it only works from 98 SE 4. Used the Nusb36e on an old Windows98 machine. Rebooted and presto- it immediately recognized an older 32gb USB stick.

I simply searched the files and dragged them onto a floppy disk. Now when I put a new usb drive in I simply put the floppy in and win 98 picks up the files it requires. I have several old computers with win It works on them all.

Thank you very much. I was able to use the driver in our old Win 98 computer connected to a scientific instrument to retrieve files using the usb port. Our old CD burning program was not working so I decided to use the usb in desperation. The usb port is not working in our Win 98 computer in the first place so I searched the internet for a driver. After the download I followed the instructions and it works great.

This is so helpful and I am so grateful to you sir! This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting this information. I use an old Toshiba laptop for retro gaming. I wanted to connect my external Mb HDD to the one USB port on this laptop, I was doubtful if this would work, but as soon as I installed this driver and rebooted, my external was detected as a mass storage device and works great.

Thank you! I had been going around in circles beforehand. I need to retain an older PC in order to be able to program some of the older 2-way mobile and portable radio equipment which is still soldiering on. However, in the device manager it showed up as? But then when clicking and selecting update driver… Win98se found and loaded the general USB mass storage driver for it. Nice… I can see the files as loaded under E: drive now. It works!!! I just pop the chip and plug it into a card reader and it works!

Hi thanks for the wonderful help. It works. This ALL Win 7 applying a driver to the external HD's, that does not work and the drive becomes disabled like a fault.

He hung up on me! The second call, the gentleman was kind enough to give me a list of solutions to try, but NONE of them worked!! I am sooo tired of this I have been trying to get externals to work I spent money on externals and i HAVE brain damage from beating my head on the wall.

Then, follow the wizard to install the driver. In this process, you don't need to do any changes. If you are prompted to reboot when the installation is completed, restart your computer before using the external hard drive. In this case, you should consider that the drive is defective or damaged. Please follow the steps below to check a WD drive for damage:. If there are irreparable errors on the drive, you may need to try recovering data.
