Transferring Files From Windows 98 to a portable disc

[sassie]

I have gotten a newer computer and am trying to transfer my files from my windows 98 to a portable disc.  My 98 you cannot transfer/send files to the disc.  The salesman at Best Buy told me to try a portable disc and pull the files over, but I cannot figure it out.  Is there an easy way to do it, or will I have to pay someone to do it for me?  Some of the files I really need to keep. 
Thanks

I don't understand - why can't you copy your files to the removable drive?

What <Exactly> have you tried to do? Are you trying to burn a disc? If so you need software that can burn files to the disk (Win98 does not have built-in support for disk burning).

Same for Removable drives (USB) of any sort; you'll need the appropriate driver for the device.

You can find generic USB Storage drivers here be sure to choose the one that matches your edition.
