Hi,

I'm using Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222A
and I'm trying to make general use of a thumbdrive:
Kingston DataTraveler DTI/1GB. I can usually
get the first one I bought to work, but for some
reason I have to tell it where the driver is every
time it happens to work even though it goes right
to it when prompted during the install, acting like
it already knows right where it is. So why doesn't
it just use it and work each time, instead of always
making me reinstall it or whatever?

Thinking they should all work as well/badly as
that one I bought a couple more, even though
when the one I bought first did work it was even
slower than the old 3.5 floppies I have been using.
When I put the new ones in, they are even worse.
Sometimes I get the message:
_________________________________________________________
The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Removable Disk (F).Ink'
refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the
network resource is available, and then try again.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When I check the properties by clicking on the icon,
it will often show that the device is full even though
it's not even close.

Is there a type of thumb drive that will work dependably
with Windows 98, and/or a way to get this type (which
is the cheapest I could find) to work?

Thanks for any help!
David
