Best Answer

Almost all Flash drives should work with Windows 7. Flash drives are very genericized; most do not require any special drivers.

Can usb flash drive work in Windows 2000?

USB 2.0 drives will fall back to USB 1.1 speed if plugged into a USB 1.1 port. Windows 98 contains no driver for USB Flash drives by default, but a generic one can be installed. These will work with almost any drive, regardless of rated speed.

Can you download music to a MP3 Player using Windows 98?

It really depends on the player. Most players work exactly like USB Flash drives, and you can just drag and drop them into it's drive in My Computer. In the "Related Links" below, you can find drivers for USB Flash drives for Windows 98. Some MP3 players, such as iPods, need special programs like iTunes to be able to put music on them. Since no recent version of iTunes is available for Windows 98, this is a near impossibility.

Can XP compatible peripherals run on windows 98?

Sometimes, yes. Being compatible with XP doesn't make the device incompatible with Windows 98. * USB keyboards and mice work fine. * Most older sound cards (say before 2004) should work fine. Some RealTek integrated chipsets may still work. * Ethernet cards should work. * Wireless-G cards should work. I am unaware of any "N" cards that support Windows 98. * Older video cards (before 2004) should work. Very few new ones do. * USB Flash drives and external hard drives work if you install a driver in Windows 98. Drives over 127 GB will give you problems. Windows 98 cannot read NTFS-formatted drives without extra software. * 56k modems should work. * Bluetooth is extremely iffy on Windows 98; don't invest any money in a dongle if you aren't sure it will work. * Most new USB printers do not work. * The Nintendo wireless adapter for the DS does not work. * SATA drives do not work unless the BIOS is switched to legacy mode. * Windows 98 cannot read HD-DVD / Blu-Ray discs. The drives will still work fine for reading DVDs and CDs.
