Default Drivers present but "not found" ????

usbntmap.sys and usbstor.sys are with most other usb related files in the
"cab" files in the Win9x folder on the Win Me CD and/or in a sub-folder of
Windows\Options and not directly visible in Explorer. Look for the folder
containing the file BASE2.CAB. When the installer asks for files point it
towards the folder containing the file BASE2.CAB.

See MS KB 265371 - "How to Extract and Replace a Protected File in Windows
Me" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=265371) for details of how to manually
extract files from the cab set. Alternatively use MSConfig |
General | Extract File... and follow the prompts to extract a new copy of the
required files to your windows\system32\drivers folder . Most USB related
files can be found in BASE2.CAB although some are located in other cabs.

Alternatively you could visit http://www.usb-drivers.com/drivers/63/63237.htm
and download usb-WinMe.exe which contains WinMe's usb related files. Extract
the files you want and put them in windows\system32\drivers.

After a reinstall of ME system files, windows will no
longer see my zip drive.
It says :
USBNTMAP.SYS not found and
USBSTOR.SYS not found
When I search for the drivers I get the message:
The best driver windows found is already instaloled on
this device
AND it gives the locations:
C:\WINDOWS\INF\USBNTMAP.INF
C:\WINDOWS\INF\USBSTOR.INF
So, can anyone tell me if there are there or not?
