'USBNTMAP.SYS' and 'USBSTOR.SYS' not found
In which case, I guess that you mean the solution worked ok for you, also.
Thanks for the feedback. Mart "DLSmith29" wrote in message ... It was exactly what I needed, too!

(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.)

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

'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 Mart "Onkar" wrote in message ...

Mart,
Thanks for the response. I have Windows XP SP2 machine. I tried to import USBTOR reg from a machine in which USBSTOR.SYS file exists, and USB Mass Storage device gets detected.

'USBNTMAP.SYS' and 'USBSTOR.SYS' not found
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. BTW - Did you manage to find a copy of the BASE2.CAB file/folder? Mart "Onkar" wrote in message ...

'USBNTMAP.SYS' and 'USBSTOR.SYS' not found
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? -- Mike Mart wrote: 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.

'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!!
