Default 'USBNTMAP.SYS' and 'USBSTOR.SYS' not found

Onkar, either one of two reasons :-

1. Someone has deleted it. - or 'Hidden' it!!
2. The OEM - in their wisdom - has located the BASE2.CAB elsewhere on your
HDD or did not provide it at all in their specific version of Windows
ME.(unlikely)

You could try 'Searching' the whole of your HDD (or even your WinMe CD) for
the BASE2.CAB file/folder using Windows Explorer. Once you've found
BASE2.CAB, then you can continue with the instructions below.

If however, you can't find a copy of BASE2.CAB anywhere on your HDD, my
guess is that reason 1. is the cause and that essentially means that if it
has been deleted, you've got a 'damaged' version of WinMe and you really
need to consider a clean installation of WinMe.

If it has been 'Hidden', you'll need to enable the 'Show hidden files and
folders' option in Windows Explorer.

Good luck

C:Windows\Options\Instal or CABS folder
^^^^^^^

Hi Mart,
In C:\Windows there is no folder with the name Options.

When it asks for usbntmap.sys and usbstor.sys files, you need to browse
(navigate) to the C:Windows\Options\Instal or CABS folder, where there
*should* be a complete copy of your WinMe Setup files and the
installation
of the USB files should then continue.

(The folder which you should be looking for [Instal or CABS] is the one
containing a whole series of .cab files - including BASE2.CAB which
contains
the two required files.)
