RSM database is corrupt and cannot be Rebuilt

RSM database is corrupt and cannot be Rebuilt

Windows XP - If the Removable Storage service is disabled, the Computer Management applet will create an event log alert with the error:

"
RSM database is corrupt and cannot be rebuilt
"

To resolve this issue, set the Removable Storage startup type to Manual or Automatic(services.msc)

Alternatively, rebuild the RSM database by:

1. Stop the RSM Service
2. Delete the RSM databases located at %SystemRoot%\System32\NtmsData
3. Restart the RSM Service
