If it's Bluetooth / Wifi, you have to pair them first.
Are you 100% sure it's a flash?
If it has a usb port, then it could be a bluetooth or Wifi (wireless communications connection) dongle, not a storage flash drive.
A bluetooth dongle will usually have the double W symbol similar to a spiky 8.
If Bluetooth / Wifi:.....
USB has 4 pins - outer 2 are power to the device, while the inner 2 pins carry data traffic only.
Therefore a BT device, Wifi and a flash storage drive need to be connected to USB for powering its circuit board and relaying data.
Try this if BlueTooth:
Switch ON bluetooth on both devices (flash may have a button / switch, or not), most just use "Remove Device" "Safe to Remove" then yank it out to switch off (as no 5V USB BUS power = 0).
Plugging in powers it up. It's functions are controlled via PC's BT menu.
With BT Flash plugged in, go to your computers device settings or the taskbar may have a BT symbol (like two face-to-face W's).
After switching computer BT on, select "search for devices" or similar, depending on your OS.
It may find several BT devices in your area.
Other BT devices such as Mobile Phone can also find a computer dongle by using the external device's menu to "search" while computer is made "visible" (also vice versa).

Is the account that your tying to access the drive with an Administrator account? If not, Log in as Administrator and try to access the new drive. If you ARE using Administrator privileges on the vista machine, the problem lies in the U3 smart driver. Try downloading and installing the drivers for the XP SP2 os on scan disks website, If vista rejects the install package off of the scan disk website, let me know and i'll extract the drivers and build an install for them for you.

From what I understand the flash drive is for saving the configuration so you can transfer it to other computers that you may want to put on the network.

Hi,
You need to download the Sansa Win98 drivers here. This is of course assuming that your Windows98 recognizes the on board USB ports of your motherboard which can be verified in the Device Manager. The Universal Serial Bus Controllers should show at the very bottom of the list of installed devices.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.
