If it doesn't find the "new" driver software when you plug it in, you need to tell it where the software is located ("browse" to directory where new driver is located).

You should also attempt to install the software on your system before you plug in the USB flash drive. It's becoming increasingly harder to find USB flash drives that "explicitly" are supported on Win 98SE.

Lessons learned - if you buy a flash drive for use on Win 98SE system, read the package or specs to ensure they provide drivers for it (usually as an internet download from their web site). If you can not find a driver for your operating system you can ask for it on our forum. Or, as others have suggested, you can try drivers from other flash drive vendors hoping they are generic enough to work but I would start with the manufacturer of the device. If it's a "newer" flash drive they may not provide any drivers compatible with the Win 98 SE operating system. Post the information here or go to the manufacturer's web site and see what drivers they provide for their product. You're going to have to "find" third party drivers for your device.ĭetermine the make, model, and size of your USB flash drive. Nor will Microsoft provide any for Win 98SE if you allow it to search online for them. you can write the data to a separate virtual disk formatted as FAT and add that virtual disk to your VM.Unlike Windows XP, the Windows 98SE operating system did not come with any USB Mass Storage (flash drive) drivers. you can write the data to a virtual floppy
You're not mentioning it, but you would want Windows 98 SE as it has "improved USB support", not even sure if it works with an older version of Windows 98.īTW, there are other ways of getting data in your Windows 98 VM. The steps on how-to access and install that version of vmware tools can be found here: VMware tools not downloading My suggestion is to try VMware Tools from before Workstation 10. What I would do in your case is to install an older version of VMware Tools as it sounds like the drag and drop feature is broken in the current version (I'm not surprised) Windows 98 has only very limited support for USB and not a lot of inbox drivers. USB 2.0 is after windows 98, so you need to set it to USB1.1 and use a USB device that has: and it has the vmware tools of that time too. Note however that this VM is so old that it is on Hardware version 4. I just tested it here with a Win98 VM I have and it worked OK. Technically speaking, it is a form of piracy to distribute parts of the Windows OS without permission from Microsoft.ĭrag & drop should work. I don't think VMware can bundle the USB drivers because of the Microsoft EULA. I am trying to transfer files from a desktop with windows 98 (not second edition). Are there drivers available for my sandisk micro cruzer I. I think even Windows 2000 only supports USB 1.1. I am trying to transfer files from a desktop with windows 98 (not second edition). This is physical equivalent of plugging a hard disk into another machine, copy the files, unplug the hard disk with the files and plug into the Windows 98 machine.Īs far as I know, Windows 98 does not support USB 2.0 and only Windows 98 Second Edition supports USB 1.1. Then add the secondary VM hard disk to the Windows 98 VM. (2) copy the files into a secondary virtual disk in another VM where copy/paste or drag/drop or USB works.

(1) create an ISO file (virtual CD) of the files you want to put inside the Windows 98 and mount the ISO file as virtual CD
I would suggest still retry the methods previously suggested We have been through this before in your previous post Workstation 14.1 and Windows 98 - no removable media detected
