Will it retrieve data from a Windows 98 hard drive ?

My box is a dual boot -- Win 98 and Win XP. For compatibility reasons, all drives are FAT 32 and I can access the FAT 32 data.

I believe so. The adapter should help you get files from a drive regardless of the operating system on which the drive used to run. The drive I used it on used to run Windows Millennium Edition (ME). Windows ME would no longer boot, so I used the adapter to rescue the files. After I removed the hard drive, I connected the adapter to it then connected it all to a working computer via USB. The working computer recognized the old hard drive as a remote drive, and I was able to harvest the files.

It will allow you to read/retrieve data from a SATA Hard Drive with USB 3.0 if you have it, but it will also work with USB 2.0.

Yes, it is. I used it to access a Windows 7 drive in which the computer tower had burned in a house fire. I plugged the Win 7 drive into a Windows XP tower as a secondary drive. When I turned the Windows XP computer on, it started normally and showed the damaged drive with no problem whatsoever. I retrieved all data on the damaged drive with no loss of files or data at all.

Yes, it will. Mine is a replacement for an earlier Sony model which finally quit after close to 10 years. The original unit ran happily under Widows 98. This one is running under Windows XP Pro. and Windows 7 Pro. (dual boot) on the same machine.

Don't know... I had it in a windows 98SE machine and it was ok. It is now in a XP machine.

I put in a drive with data on it and windows wouldn't recognize it unless I formatted it first. Works fine after formatting, but I had to backup all of my data before using the drive.

Not a computer expert.... used this drive on a old desktop computer running win98.... worked for me.....good luck.

Yes, it should. It will read it as a slave drive, so the operating system does not matter. It has both IDE and Sata cables. I used it on an IDE hard drive and had no problems.

I would imagine if you have net connection you might find what you're looking for at windows support. I'm not exactly computer savvy sorry I couldn't answer your question

Definitely! I have the same hard drive and i got it from my old pc too. It'll work.

I used it with Windows 7, so I really don't know. My educated guess would be yes, since it's only transferring files, but I can't be positive.

Yes, it only provides access to the drive via USB.You will need separate software for reading different filesystems (e.g. reading a windows hard drive from Mac / Linux) or any other operations you want to perform on the drive.

I'm sure it will. I hooked mine up with Win 8.1 on one and Win 98 on the other.

Yes, it does. It is only an interface. Connecting your computer to your not-installed internal hard drive.

If your actual hard drive itself died, then most likely no. If its the connection inside the external hard drive case to the hard drive or the cables on the external hard drive reader then maybe. This is more for when your computer dies but the hard drive is still good, you can connect the hard drive to it and pull the data over. As well as many other things but it will only work if the hard drive you are connecting to it is still good.

Highly doubtful. Win 95 is not the real problem. But a PC old enough to still have Win 95 almost certainly lacks the SATA interface needed for this drive.
