If your windows 98 is up to date i think you can just attach the drive on the pc (USB) and just do an autosearch for NEW HARDWARE. Normally your system will see the 442 as a mass storage device (basically a external Harddrive) And then you can just work in explorer to put files on or off or whatever you want to do with it?
Tho this might work, i strongly suggest you get winXP or something. Cozz the PnP (Plug'n'Play) factor works alot better on it.
Lemme know if this was any help for you
