Scandisk Setup


Heartofgold

Recommended Posts

:rolleyes: I have two computers. One is running Windows XP Pro and is online. The other is running Windows 98SE and does not go online. I want to store files, pictures etc. on the Windows 98SE computer.

I have a Scandisk cruzer mini 256 MB.

I went to the scandisk website and downloaded the driver for Windows 98.

When I click on the setup file, the following message appears and I can't load it

{ error installing ikernel.exe (0X10000) }

Don't know what to do now

Any ideas??

If you read the Sandisk site very carefully, you'll see that they don't support 98 at all.

The drivers are for 98/SE only.

I have purchased several Sandisk thumbdrives since they first appeared in the local Staples (office supply) store. I just got another Cruzer Micro 512 for $29 with a $12 rebate.

Windows 98 had such minimal USB support that even with the Sandisk drivers, it still won't work with the Cruzer Micro drive.

Upgrade to 98/SE and install the Unofficial Service Pack and all will be well with the world. :thumbup

Cheers!

There are two drivers from Sandisk.

The Mini driver and the Micro driver.

If you got the Mini driver, it will not work with a Micro drive.

The micro driver, however, will work fine on a Mini drive.

I have both types of drives and I use them on 98/SE machines all the time after installing the Micro driver and rebooting the system.

I'm glad you got your little drive working, but you shouldn't have had to go outside for a special driver.

Congrat's! :thumbup
