Change you usb port or replace the smartdisk's usb cable, probably the current one if broken.
Also restart the pc whilst the smartdisk is connected. It shd be recognised now.
may you can plug off your hard drive, and tthen connect to the computer that can connect to internet, and then just copy your file to your another one hard drive or you can bur it to cd
It depends on how you copied your files to the SmartDisk.
If you used the "normal" method of copying files/folders in Windows, then just connect it to the new computer.
If you used some "backup" software from Verbatim to write "backup" files,
then you'll need to install that software on the new computer,
in order to retrieve from those "backup" images.
this will work for win98 as well as 98SE (second edition) too. http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/226844/smartdisk-firelite-usb-driver-windows-98se-free-download.html
Please let me know if it worked will be appreciated.
