USBNTMAP.SYS file not found

[Georgia Dave]

When I tried to load the software from my daughter's new digital camera,
which allows the transfer of photos from the camera to my computer, I
discovered that the following files were not found:

USBNTMAP.SYS and USBSTOR.SYS

My operating system is Windows ME. Sony technical support walked me through
searching for the files, and they don't exist in my operating system. Is
there a way to download them or extract them from the Windows ME
reinstatllation CD?

Thanks.

Sony should know where the files are - they deliberately hid them! :)
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 file BASE2.CAB.

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.

Thanks Noel,

Been somewhat preoccupied elsewhere today and likely to be so for most of
this week.
