    To the best of my recollection, it used FAT32. You may try a Linux distro to recover the data and then format it.
    98 also used FAT (or FAT16). Win 7 should be able to read it anyway.

    In the OPs device manager screenshot the drive is listed as SCSI. Does this mean a SCSI driver is needed ?
    I was thinking the same thing but if that was the case I don't think the drive would even show until the driver was installed, it would just appear as an "unrecognized device".

    Sorry i was unable to figure out a solution to this problem so i gave the computer back to my friend and told him I didnt want to risk losing the data so i was unable to get it to work.
