re: purchase hard drive for Win 98SE desktop computer Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 6:06 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Richard Harris (258 messages posted) Any USB 2 external drive up to about 120 Gig should work. However, be sure to format it as FAT32, if it does not already come that way. The one wrinkle is that unlike XP, which seems to automatically recognize all USB 2 hard drives, 98 may require drivers for each specific hard drive. Thus, be sure to check that the manufacturer offers such drivers, usually as a download, before buying a drive. For example, a quick search of Seagate/Maxtor support, downloads, found a list of drives that had downloadable 98SE drivers. http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=201413 On Sunday, April 26, 2009 at 12:17 am, peppertreedad wrote: >Who sells (manufacturer) new external hard drives for Win98se desktop computers?
