Joaquim Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 why, when i reboot the computer, with pen drive connected(maybe with other external disk) the startup stops?
beansmuggler Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 98 just doesn't cooperate well with USB. If you go into Safe Mode or Command line only with a USB in, it lets you keep going 1
beansmuggler Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 I haven't got a working system myself to know if the USB patches offered online fix the bootup issue, but I think 98SESP3 and NUSB33 are my best guesses. Make sure to read everything before running something tho, since I'm clueless 1
MERCURY127 Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 14 hours ago, Joaquim said: why win9x have not NATIVE drivers for EHCI (USB20). unofficial ehci drivers is grabbed from 2k/xp and NEVER was optimized for 9x power management. 1
Tripredacus Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Findfast would cause this type of problem with floppy disks. Do not know if it also does it with other removable media types. 1
Joaquim Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 Even the pens. It's what i'm getting the problems.
RainyShadow Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Go into BIOS setup and move USB drives after internal HDD in the startup sequence.
Joaquim Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 my BIOS Boot Order, don't detect the pen drive. so i can't change order.
Joaquim Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) i update it to NUSB36e(before was 33).. the probem was not fixed i need ask more 1 thing: before i install the NUSB33, i must Remove all "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and then install it.. but some can freeze windows.. what you can advice me about it? (it's installed, but geting more information is the best) Edited May 6, 2021 by Joaquim
pangoomis Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 I haven't found a solution for the long startup time when a USB pendrive is connected. Is it really stuck for you, or just takes a long time to start up? I haven't encountered USB pendrives making 98SE unbootable.
Joaquim Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 stuck!!!! the pen only have normal files and not bootable
Goodmaneuver Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I think it is a hardware issue with the USB controller. Best to exercise the USB ports then update the driver,- reinstall. Make sure you can read/write to all sectors of the flash drive or try another one. Edited May 7, 2021 by Goodmaneuver
Nokiamies Posted May 7, 2021 Posted May 7, 2021 Can I ask specs of your hardware? What chipset, what board, any external usb controllers? Also is system OEM prebbuilt or custom build? I have found that exact issue on DELL and IBM/Lenovo boards (thinkcentre m62, optiplex gx260, optiplex gx620) with intel 845, 915 or 945 chipsets. It hangs on reboot if usb pendrive, usb modem or other is connected on Windows 98SE. It has not happened any other of my boards only those OEM ones. Only answer I found is not to have usb plugged in. It is bios bug likely
Joaquim Posted May 7, 2021 Author Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Is laptop Acer aspire 1690. Its for XP and not 98. The rest i don't know..... Sorry Edited May 7, 2021 by Joaquim
