Hi

I am facing problem with removable storag service and removbale storag database
I tried following stapes after that problem is solve but after one week I am facing same
problem.

1. Perform the steps listed in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, test to determine if the issue is resolved, and if not, continue with the remaining steps:

   228987 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/228987/EN-US/ ) Event ID 129 for Removable Storage Manager After Reboot
2. Manually restore your Removable Storage database:
   
   NOTE: If you have never performed a %SystemRoot% backup using Windows 2000 backup, the %SystemRoot%\System32\NtmsData\Export folder does not exist. If this is the case, only perform steps 3-5, and then restart RSM or your computer. After RSM starts, it creates a new database that should permit your alternate backup program to use RSM and perform a restoration of the good database.
3. In the Computer Management tool, double-click the Services and Applications branch to expand it, and then click Services.
4. Locate and stop the "Removable Storage" service, or change the startup type from "Automatic" to "Disabled", and then restart your computer.
5. Use Windows Explorer to view the %SystemRoot%\System32\NtmsData folder, and rename the existing files in this folder to a .old file extension, or copy them to a different folder.
6. Use Registry Editor to view the following registry key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\NTMS
   If the ImportDatabase REG_DWORD exists, change the value of the ImportDatabase REG_DWORD from 0 to 0x1. If it does not exist, add it with a value of 0x1:
   
   value name: ImportDatabase
   data type: REG_DWORD
   String: 1
7. In the Computer Management tool, double-click the Services and Applications branch to expand it, and then click Services.
8. Locate the Removable Storage service, try to start the service, or change the startup type from "Disabled" to "Automatic", and then restart your computer. This should import the database from the export folder, build a new index file, and be consistent from when the last %Systemroot% backup was performed

can any one give me proper guidance

Hi

I solved the problem

stop the removable storageservice and then take the backup of Ntdms data from windows\system32 folder

and rename the old files after that restart the removable storageservices.
