My Win 2000 OS has been very buggy. Too many issues to list. Tried to reinstall, but after the reboot to set-up screen, I get a 'EUSBMSD.sys file is corrupted', and can't complete the reinstall. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

If you haven't already done so, you need to completely wipe your hard drive and reformat it.

The Win2k installation process from CD gives you this option. Delete the partition, create a new one and choose format...ntfs or fat32...your choice.

If you have done this, then the problem is likely to be hardware related - any you're going to have to give us more information.

Its *possible* that its BIOS related, so update that too.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.

Research comes up with this error as a corrupt USB MSD corrupt driver files installed on alpha systems
Try using the setup disk and choose to do a Repair install when prompted,make sure that you have all updated hardware drivers before proceeding
