[pchelpers] Reinstalling W98 drivers

Greetings:

I have a problem with my laptop which runs Windoze 98 SE.
Neither the  USB port or the the modem card function. I believe both problems 
could be fixed by reinstalling the drivers but, lacking a USB port 
internet/network 
access I have no means of doing so.  Unfortunately, my ailing laptop lacks a CD 
drive (its truly ancient). 

To solve this problem I thought I would remove the hard drive and place it in a 
portable enclosure so that I could treat it as an external drive. I could then 
connect 
it to another laptop and transfer the necessary drivers onto the  W98  hard 
drive. 

Is this the best strategy to employ or is there another I should consider? 

Thanks for any suggestions or alternative solutions. 

Wndy

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
