SE and Lexar jump drive

[CommandLineJunkie]

My jump drive works fine if I have it plugged into the USB port when I boot
the computer. However, if I boot the computer without the drive plugged in,
it won't recognize it when I do plug it in. I've tried to let the computer
find it as new hardware, but it doesn't see it. Anyone got a fix for this
one? Thanks

This issue seems to crop up, at times, in other systems/OSs as well.

SE had an update for Firewire which also addressed the *hotplug* aspect
[files are used for/in USB depending upon the device support]:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=242975
Direct download [583 KB, English]:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win98se/Update/2944-2/W98/EN-US/242975USA8.EXE

Other users have found that using the Maximus Decim Universal Driver [or
other] fixed their issues.

Tried both downloads, but the problem persists. The jump drive is actually
listed in Device Manager as drive F: but won't show up in the file manager
unless it's installed prior to boot. At least I can use it though.........

Also check in the drive's properties sheet (in DM), if the drive is checked
off as "Removable"
