Windows Forum / Windows Me / Software / June 2008'USBNTMAP.SYS' and 'USBSTOR.SYS' not found
I am trying to use my memory stick in my USB but it is not letting me use it because the following files are not found. Is there anyway to download these files??? 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.)

You're quite right Debbie, I did write it - on 19th of April 2006 to be precise - and "ScarlemsFinest" replied :- > Mart, u r the best, thanks for the help, everything's solved. Thanks > again!!! Hope that helps.

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 [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > these > > files??? 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.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;272584 You can download usbview.exe from MS at: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/technet/samples/ps/win98/reskit/DIAGNOSE/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 [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> > these >> > files??? 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.

XP just isn't interested <g> Mart >> Mike, that thought did go thru' my mind when I mentioned XP <g> > > Mart, and it was your reference to XP ... <vbg> Thanks to you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately, none of this really did the trick, but I discovered by accident that my computer recognized the flash drive after I rebooted without removing it -- go figure! I was just trying to pull a music folder off an old machine, and I finally succeeded, so no need to try further to resolve the problem, but I appreciate your support just the same. Nancy > Mike, that thought did go thru' my mind when I mentioned XP <g> > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Drive is formatted as either FAT or FAT32 and hasn't been formatted as > > NTFS. Hmm.. not exactly unheard of. Sometimes WinMe can be somewhat 'sluggish' in enumerating (recognising) certain USB devices for the first time and a re-boot has been known to help kick it where it needs to. Anyway, well done Nancy, I'm pleased you've now got yourself sorted out and thanks for the feedback - enjoy your music. Mart > Thanks to you both for your suggestions.

In which case, I guess that you mean the solution worked ok for you, also. Thanks for the feedback. Mart > It was exactly what I needed, too! > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> > these >> > files??? To quote Mike M.... usbntmap.sys is 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 cab files. 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.
