A:AnswerI had a similar problem.
My computer runs Windows 10, so this answer may only apply to computers that run Windows 10.
The problem I had was trying to save large video files (larger than 4 gigs) from my computer to the thumb drive.
Then I discovered that in order to save large files, I would have to first reformat the thumb drive. It has to do with the way thumb drives work.
IF YOU REFORMAT YOUR THUMB DRIVE, YOU MUST DO IT BEFORE YOU SAVE ANYTHING ON TO IT. (If you reformat your thumbdrive after you have saved some thing onto it, the reformatting process will erase anything you have already saved on the thumb drive.)
Here's how to reformat your thumb drive:
1. Put the thumb drive into a USB port on your computer.
2. Locate your thumb drive in your "File Explorer".
3. Right click on your thumb drive's name in File Explorer.
4. You should see a drop down menu.
5. I that drop down menu, you should see an item that says "Format..."
6. Left click on "Format...."
7. You should then see a small list of items.
8. One of those items should be "File System". The file system you will most likely see will be "FAT32 (default)"
9. Right click where it says "FAT32 (default)"
10. You should now see a drop down menu that gives you a few options. One option is "NTFS"
11. Left click on "NTFS"
12. When the little box says "NTFS", click on the box at the bottom that says "Start".
13. Follow the prompts. BE SURE YOU HAVE NO ITEMS ALREADY SAVED ON YOUR THUMB DRIVE! (If you do, all of those items will be erased when the thumb drive is reformatted to "NNTFS")
14. When you are done, you will be able to save large video files onto your thumb drive.
As I mentioned, I saved some large video files from a Windows 10 computer. I gave the thumb drive to a friend who has an Apple Computer, and she was able to download and use the videos from the thumb drive onto her computer.
I hope this helps.

A:AnswerSimple to install using Win 10, just plug it in auto recognized and you are ready to go. If you are going to transfer large files, reformat as NTFS. Leave format as is and you can see files both on Windows are Mac.
A:AnswerIt's been awhile since I worked with Win98 stuff. My memory of it was that when it was presented with a new USB device it asked for a driver for the new device. It went on like this until the 2nd Edition of Win98 was released. Maybe that was Version 2. If the BIOS on the Win98 computer supported booting from a CD do you have a boot disk, such as Hiren's Boot CD? If so you could boot from the CD, then plug in the USB drive and you should be able to file copy whatever you need. I have also heard of projects such as WinPE. But again it depends on if the BIOS supports such things. If the Win98 computer still boots try sticking the USB drive in to copy files. What do you have to lose?
A:AnswerUsing a 3.0 port with windows 10 on a computer, transferring a video file to the computer it clocked 110 as the high, and transferring a file to the flash drive the top speed was 46.
