Thought I'd make a topic na lang about this since ubay-ubay na sad ang nag-pm nako about my solution to the univeral USB Mass Storage detection in Win98

Installing USB Mass Storage Devices on Windows 98

USB flash drives are becoming more and more common. They do not usually come with drivers as Windows Me, 2000, and XP come with generic drivers already installed. This way all you need to do is plug the drive in, Windows will recognise it and you will automatically see the drive in My Computer. Windows 98, especially in it's second edition (also known as Windows 98SE), handles USB very well, however there are no generic drivers preinstalled in the operating system, so you will need to install some additional drivers for it. Some manufacturers do provide the drivers on CD, others have them available to download, and others simply do not have them available at all. So if you are using Windows 98, and you do not know the manufacturer of the flash drive, or you can't find the drivers, what can you do? Well, there are some Generic Windows 98 USB Mass Storage Device drivers available that should work. These drivers should work with most "USB Mass Storage Devices". This means that these drivers will work many makes and models of the following:

* USB Flash Drives
* Digital Photo and Video Cameras (that connect to the PC via USB)
* USB Hard Drives
* MP3 Players
* Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

The drivers can be downloaded from the following link:

Windows 98 Generic USB Mass Storage Device Drivers

To install the drivers, download the file to your desktop, double click on the nusb22e.exe icon and follow the instructions on the screen.

You should note, that these drivers are generic, and they may not work with some devices, it is also only intended for the English versions of Windows 98 and Windows 98SE. Therefore there is no guarantee that they will work with your device, but our experience shows that they work on many without problem. Please note that these drivers are not warranted in any way, and no support is offered for them; you use at your own risk. If you are experiencing problems, you can always ask in our forum for any help from others.

Also as an added improvement, install NUSB221.ZIP update so that more devices can be detected.

Good find! I had a hellish time trying to make my USB flash drive work on win98. XP became more prevalent, and now I don't have that much trouble, but regardless, this is indeed a good find.

BTW, Microsoft is ending Win98 and WinME support from hereon.
