Can someone suggest a USB removeable hard drive that will work with both
windows 98 as well as windows xp. In addition will work with both USB 1 and
2.

I am looking for such a drive to back up two computers as well as moving
data between each.

Thank you

As far as I know, ANY USB external hard drive sold today will do what
you need.

I would assume 99.9% of the available external USB cases would work.
The hard drive would have to be partitioned & formatted with FAT32 to work
with Win98 (and Win XP).

most come formatted fat 32. I have both a Seagate and a Buslink
external and they came formatted as fat 32.

If you later want NTFS, you can reformat them.
