Go to the manufactorer's web site's support site and ask for a replacement number. The disk has numbers on it that will help identify the product. It will also help if you still have the sales receipt. Good luck.
Some info on 98se and USB issues. You should not need a usb driver if the usb port in your computer is already functioning properly. The only inconvenience you will have is your drive will work at the slower speed provided by the usb 1.1 standard.

Unfortunately, the company only supported: OS: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Mac OS X v10.3 or higher and Time Machine (OS X v 10.5 Leopard) compatible, for their USB hard drives.
You would need someone to write a driver for you or to connect to a computer with a supported OS.
Check if the disk is NTFS or FAT32 or some other format. Because if it is in raw format you are dead! Also another tip is call the merchant you bought the USB from. Because if you buy things online, sometimes the product is bad quality. Another solution that saves time is to change to another USB.
