'USBNTMAP.SYS' and 'USBSTOR.SYS' not found
I have taken these steps, and it said I had successfully installed the
hardware (USB 2.0 Flash Drive), but it does not show up as an available drive in My Computer.

Jeepers! Nancy, wherever did you dig that thread from - it's over two years
old. Firstly, although your USB Flash Drive is USB 2.0, it will only perform at USB 1.x speeds as the WinMe drivers mentioned are for USB 1.x only. You will need extra hardware AND drivers (associated with that hardware) for it to work at USB 2.0 speeds under WinMe. However, back to your prime issue - drive not showing. Are you sure that the memory stick was properly formatted (Does it work [is it recognised] on another (e.g. XP) machine?) Also, take a look in Device Manager and see if any USB devices (or errors) are shown there. Do you have TweakUI installed? If so, you *may* have set a restriction on the available drive letters. Perhaps you might wish to try this little MS utility for checking-out your USB stuff. If you have a copy of the Win98 CD, then see the following URL and try the usbview.exe on the CD. (NB It's not on the WinME CD - but see below) "How to Use the Windows 98 USB Device Viewer Utility" http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;272584 You can download usbview.exe from MS at: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/tec...SE/USBVIEW.EXE Alternatively, it still seems to be available from :- http://www.srigc.com/softdl.htm You'll find it about 2/3 rds down the page If all this fails, try a System Restore and roll-back to before you first plugged-in your USB stick. Then start over and make an exact note of all screen reports. HTH and good luck Mart "Nancy" wrote in message ...

Thanks to you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately, none of this really
did the trick, but I discovered by accident that my computer recognized the flash drive after I rebooted without removing it -- go figure! I was just trying to pull a music folder off an old machine, and I finally succeeded, so no need to try further to resolve the problem, but I appreciate your support just the same.

Hmm.. not exactly unheard of. Sometimes WinMe can be somewhat 'sluggish' in
enumerating (recognising) certain USB devices for the first time and a re-boot has been known to help kick it where it needs to. Anyway, well done Nancy, I'm pleased you've now got yourself sorted out and thanks for the feedback - enjoy your music. Mart "Nancy" wrote in message ... Thanks to you both for your suggestions.

Yes Mike, I know and I nearly chopped my fingers off when I realised - the
spectre of a 'simple solution' - or at least a description of its implementation - could have ended up as a multi-page tome. XP just isn't interested g Mart "Mike M" wrote in message ...

It was exactly what I needed, too!
