In addition to Mart's suggestions if the flash drive appears in the Device
Manager but doesn't show in Windows Explorer check that the USB Flash
Drive is formatted as either FAT or FAT32 and hasn't been formatted as
NTFS.

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

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.)
