Pendrive Problem in windows 98

First, your Windows XP must be either SP2 or SP3, and then you must add a patch to it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955704/en-us that is KB955794 for the patch

32 gb pendrive not working properly

format the drive using linux operating system .. and then format it in windows operating sys...
done...

it is due to virus problem take this pendrive to another computer and u can do the formatting. if that is not possible then try deleting some files nad do the formatting or format ur machine and do the formatting or none of the solution works then the usb disk is corrupted.

XP has a stupid feature like that. If you did format with the XP style, try to do it manually.

My computer > Locate your usb pendrive >Rightclick and Format.

If this don't work, your pendrive might just be malfunctioning. Replace it if you can, or upgrade to external harddrive.

your pedrive contains {Autorun} virus that's why you are unable to format it to view this virus go to view option in control panel then view and tick the show hidden file and folder

you can remove this virus
install malwarebytes and scan your pendrive
when you remove the virus format your pendrive

IF it not works
I think you use windows xp that's why it happen

Try to format in windows vista .or in windows 7

Make sure you are attaching your pen drive into an USB 2.0 port (also called "high speed USB port"). It must be formatted to FAT32, if it still fails you might try the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. If you are using Windows 98 then you need special driver for your pen drive.

hi, i srinivas, i am using dual booting of win 98 & windows xp operating systems. when i am using my transcend pendrive in win xp which is easily working, but in win 98, how can we install perpect drivers for my transcend pendrive.

so please give the solution to solve my problem.

sarwesh,
to use USB mass storage in Windows 98 you need to install drivers for your mass device. So,

1. Findout if any CD/DVD shipped with your pendrive. Install driver from that to your Windows 98 PC, then you can use it.
2. If you don't have any setup disk from manufacturer, there might be drivers and software prestored in your pen drive. Use this pendrive to any other PC with XP/Vista. Burn these files to any CD/DVD and then make install these drivers to your Windows 98 PC, after that you can use your pen drive on your Windows 98 PC.
3. If you are not able to do step 2, then goto manufacturer's site select your model no. and download driver and install.

If still you didn't found. Tell me your pendrive manufacturer and model no. I will try to give you link.

Thanks
Iqbal
