I haven't done this under 98 but in general do the following.
--Reboot the system.
--insert the thumb drive.
--in device manager, fint the thumb drive under drives. go to properties and look for a drive letter assignment. choose an unused drive letter to assign to this device. Accept and exit out to the desktop.
--reboot the system.
The thumb drive should appear as the new drive letter you selected.

What I believe you need is the drivers for the chip-set on your motherboard.

Windows 98 came with a poor set of built-in drivers.

Once you install the IDE and USB controller drivers from the motherboard, system, or chip-set manufacture, all devices should work properly.
