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

Jeepers Mike!! - Well I've re-read Onkar's posts several times now and I'm
more confused than ever g

I naturally ASS-U -MEd he was talking about a WinMe PC in his first post
(After all, he did post to a WinMe newsgroup) then ASS-U-MEd he meant that
he'd imported the USBTOR *files* from his XP machine to his WinMe machine in
his second post.

But now I have re-read it yet again, I see what you mean - I think!!!

Onkar doesn't have a WinMe machine at all and was trying to apply a WinMe
solution to an XP machine! Bu**er!!

Mart,

I'm confused. Onkar's running XP SP2 and I would expect both usbstor.sys
and usbstor.inf to be present but not usbntmap.sys. Even if the Win Me
version of usbstor.sys works with XP this needs to be installed using
usbstor.inf which may require other files (I haven't checked).

BTW - Did you manage to find a copy of the BASE2.CAB file/folder?


Does Onkar have a PC with Win Me?

Hi Onkar,

I seem to have misunderstood your earlier post where I read it that
the substituted copy(s) XP copies of the missing USBSTOR.SYS file(s)
HAD resolved the issue.

In your second post, you said :-

... and USB Mass
Storage device gets detected.


Are you now saying that substitution did NOT work after all?

If so, then I'm not really surprised as I wonder just what other
files may be missing and I did allude to the only (probably useful)
alternative solution was a clean install (including wiping - or
better, formatting - your HDD) a fresh copy of WinMe.
