(Acceleration DirectDraw, Direct3D and texture AGP are disabled... i use the SDD program for get the graphic driver... i can't use the 32\64\128MB's of VBE9X graphic driver, or get the Blue Screen) 5 - i have 1 HDD with 250MB's is NTFS.. but the Explorer is closed with an error... why these error? 6 - i have 2 pens drive(both with 16GB's), but they work normally and 1 is NTFS... i use the VMware 12 because is more faster. it's too questions for 1 topic, but it's what i need more help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still find around the (read only) version of Sysynternals NTFS driver: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/installing-sysinternals-ntfs-for-windows-98-driver/ or this one : https://www.diskinternals.com/ntfs-reader/ https://eu.diskinternals.com/files/NTFS_Reader.exe or this one, use with care (read/write): https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-win98/ this is I believe an earlier version, latest cannot be obtained anymore AFAIK: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Paragon-NTFS-for-Win98.shtml or you can use the : https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Active-NTFS-Reader-for-DOS.shtml Another option: https://msfn.org/board/topic/86932-helpaccess-ntfs-from-dos-boot/ These latter two are however DOS, not windows, cannot say if they will work in a DOS window. jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joaquim Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 jaclaz: the problem is more: - the USB driver is unstable... everytime that i turn on, i must see the USB drivers and i get '!'... - i install the NTFS program\drivers, but when i click(not double click), on 'My Computer', the windows freezes and i must reboot or turn off. if i use the fat32 i don't get problems.. unless the USB driver have the '!'. yes i use VMware and i installed the tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hmmm. I don't know, it is entirely possible that the VmWare you are running is not fully compatible with the USB drivers. Whay is the "host" OS (i.e. the system where you are running the VmWare)? Maybe it is possible to disable the USB and map the physicaldirive, *like* (this may depend also on the VmWare version you are running): https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_disk_add_raw.html jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) i'm sorry, yesterday i was out of these forum... maybe forum problems or something i'm using windows 10.. the VMware is 12.. i can't install the last version, because my CPU(duo) don't support it.. at least was the message from the installer. but i belive these problem have to do with Auto-patcher and SP3.. yes i used both... maybe some hotfix\update is conflicted Edited January 31, 2020 by Joaquim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 As said above you can try to map the physicaldrive, thus by-passing the 98 USB driver in the VM. Alternatively, you can try the good ol' plain "Lexar" driver, see here: the original article is in Italian ( a Portuguese should be able to read it without particular issues): http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98.html just in case a short English translation of the most relevant part is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20100622043413/http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2411 jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download link for the driver is on the 6th page of the article: http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_6.html http://www.wintricks.it/download/wtgenusb.zip and it works just fine. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
