I tried to load my digital camcorder to my computer and after the found new hardware thing came up it gave my an error message saying " USBNTMAP.SYS" could not be found. i'm assuming this is a system error. my computer was homemade from a guy who lives far away from me. he loaded WIN ME on it and didnt give me the WIN ME disk with it. is there anything i can do without having that disk?

thanks, downloaded it but now it says " Caution. You are attempting to open a file of type 'System' (.SYS) These files are used by the operating system and by various programs. Editing of modifyimg them could damage your system. If you still want to open the file, click Open With, otherwise, click cancel." what do i open with?

i was fooling around and chose skip file when it said about usbntmap.sys and another came up. this time it said usbstor.sys can i find this one anywhere? also, i found and downloaded the usbntmap.sys that Buck52 directed me to and now its saying choose file to open with. i havent gone any farther out of fear of screwing something else up.

Please stick to one thread...starting another thread for the same problem only confuses the issue

I merged the two

In the meantime it appears that the two are tied together...

I know nothing about ME but one or both of these files need to be in one of the system folders within the root directory of ME... have a read thru this link...might help

sorry about the double posts. new can you tell. anyway i have a brand new usb port. do you think the driver disk for this will work? i'm so frustrated with this thing. it has been one problem after another. chalk it up as lesson learned. thanks
