Using Flash Drive in Windows 98

My XP laptop just crashed so I thought I'd use my lil old PC to work from in
the interim, however when I use the USB port for my flash drive it does not
recognize the hardware. I went back to the manufacturers site to download
the drivers since I don't remember where I put the disc and that doesn't seem
to help. Can anyone recommend how to get 98 to recognized my flash drive?

Thanks

The manufacturer's web site is the only place I can think of. What
manufacturer and model number is your flash drive?
