    I now have a bootable version of win98 ,but my problem is as follows .
    I have 3 usb sticks and 1 external usb hdd.
    Dos usb aspi driver will only recognise my
    65meg usb stick. I have bootable win98 on a my 1gig stick, but dos usb aspi will not recognise this stick. I also have a sandisk
    4gig stick that it will not recognise.

    bootable win98 requires 256meg , thats why I have put it on my 1gig stick.

    I red some where that this might be because
    DOS can only read usb sticks that have been
    formatted as FAT16, because my 65 meg stick
    is a lot older than my 1gig stick.

    Does anyone know what version of windows allows to format a usb stick to FAT16 ?
