It might just be the flash drive is corrupted

XP might fix it becuase i am guessing you are using windows 97. Ancient....

It works on XP on my modern computer

You would need drivers if you want to use it with an OS that old.

This flash drive u use is probably for win 2000, xp and above...

what os are you using right now? (im guessing 97 is the year the pc was bought/made/model? because theres no windows 97 lol).
anything below windows 2000 might cause problems, so you need drivers. xp is far better anyway, so its worth upgrading anyway.
