September 4, 200817 yr I want to force 98SE to either use the MoBo USB drivers or to make 98SE so that it will not detect the USB at all. This is because when I try to load 98SE on my USBHDD I can get it to boot to safe mode as the USB divers/detection is disabled but when booted in normal mode it gives a IOS error message that also says something about IOSUBSYS. I can post the whole error message here if asked. After I finish this I will post a full how-to-install-98SE-to-USB.Suggestions are welcome.Hardware:MoBo: PcChips M848A V5.0 Socket 462 (old junk but has USB BOOT SUPPORT)Ram: 2 GBCPU: AMD 1.8 Duron (soon to be melted down due to extreme overclocking USB HDD Device: Sabrent USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA Cable for 2.5-Inch/ 3.5-Inch / 5.25-Inch Drive with Power AdapterModel:WWW.TIGERDIRECT.COMItem Number: M501-1220HDD: Seagate ST340014A (Barracuda 7200.7 40 GB)
September 5, 200817 yr The simplest solution would be to switch the USB controller driver off in the device manager.
September 5, 200817 yr Author I do believe I tried that. But, I'm tired and will let you know for sure tomorrow er... later today.
September 16, 200817 yr Author Nope it did not work either. Also the hardware has had a change. CPU is now a 1.4 Duron and the RAM will be 512 or 256.
September 17, 200817 yr Maybe it's sufficient to remove Usb.inf from \Windows\Inf. Windows should detect the USB controller and should not be able to install a driver.
September 17, 200817 yr Author I will try that on Thursday as I have classes today and an dead tired. I will let you know.
