Running Win98SE (I know, but I'm new to this company and haven't learned the upgrade route yet) on an HP laptop, I finagled an Iomega 250 Zip drive. Downloaded/installed latest drivers, Windows recognizes device, and I can read data from disks. Trying to use Windows generic backup utility, it does not recognize there is a backup device, and searches for a .inf file, and of course there is none.
Any suggestions?

Even in Windows XP, if it's not a tape drive, Windows Backup does not consider it to be a backup device.

There are a number of free-ware back-up utilities posted at sites such as www.nonags.com or www.snapfiles.com

Right click Copy. Right click Paste, until the company enters the 21st century.
USB flash drive?
