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

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

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.

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.)
