sure you can. they behave just like floppies. once connected to you usb
port you will find that a new drive letter appears in 'my computer'. the only issue may stop you is if your old computer is so old that it does not have a usb port. "Tony Pacc" wrote in message ...

Yes, they act like hard drives, you can erase them, reuse them, format
them, etc. Note, however, Windows 98 and 98SE need drivers to "see" these devices, and drivers may or may not be available. There are 3 possibilities: -A driver comes with the device on a CD or floppy (rare) -A driver does not come with the device but is available on the mfgrs web site (most common) -No driver exists, period (sometimes) Windows version later than 98SE generally do not need drivers, but there is some variability in this from particular device to particular device.
