Welcome Brian9911 - You'll need to provide more information. Always Save your data before doing anything!
Is this HDD a temporary exercise? - for there is nothing to stop using an external drivee (ie loose) and connecting it to the IDE-cable (and power) keeping the reds together. The OS will see this as an internal drive, but we know different! Not easy if it's a notebook, but u don't say.
This has worked for me transferring/saving photo-files from Win95 to Win98SE......it's a drive and I just slip off the PC case..
However, if you want to use a sleek USB device - I think there may be an issue over USB....does yr OS+Motherboard support USB (doesn't matter if it version 1.1 or v2 - only speed is affected. Best to try out some usb-device to see if it's OK - a mouse, or camera-memory reader perhaps, both are cheap enough.
You don't say why you are fixed with Win98. I presume it's an old PC that isn't worth updating and associated risks to yr data.
Hope that gives an insight; we just need to know more.

I'd like to know this too- I've got a Win98 box that I'm retiring and upgrading to a Vista box. I need to save all the info on the Win98 one. I'd like an external HD that is not THAT large (bigger than 40g) and is kinda "universal" if thats possible.............. Any input is super appreciated
Thanx tonz in advancce
