Yes, but you will most likely need an adapter to adapt the 2.5" drive to a 3.5" drive slot. Additionally, if you wish to keep it as an external drive and suspect/confirm it is the enclosure that is causing the problem, you can purchase 2.5" drive enclosures pretty cheaply.

SOURCE: Drivers for simple 160gb
To access an external USB drive in Windows 98, you need to be using Windows 98 SE (Second Edition). Before SE, there was no USB support in Windows 98.
Even then, you will probably not be able to access the full 160Gb of the hard drive. Your best bet is to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, such as 2000, or XP. I know that, depending on your hardware, that might be asking a little too much, but to support all these more modern gadgets, you're going to have to give up on 98 eventually.
Hope this helps.

If it is a new drive, then you need to partition and format it for windows to see it. To do this, click START, RUN and type in compmgmt.msc. CLick on Disk Managment. Look for the new drive, right click on it and select partition. When that is finish, right click the drive again and select format. Format the drive as NTSF..

make sure the lead/s that
attach to this drive have a secure seating and are not bad/faulty the light on
only tells that its getting power it might not be getting enough power you
might test the lead/s or
just replace the cable of
the hard disk, when you plugged the external disk drive you got that
windows could recognize the USB device change the cable everything should work
fine again, sometimes the wires inside the cable will be damaged due to bending
or stretching or placing heavy equipment upon the cable,
check the USB leads that attach to the
motherboard usually red-white-green-black make sure they are securely seated
and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of
unforeseen problems
hope this helps
I found that often, external hard drives just don't have any active partitions and thus don't show up in Windows. Go into the control panel, administrative tools, computer management and then the disk manager and see if it has a partition. If it's just unallocated space, right click and make one.
