Stop error 0x1E occurs in the Usbhub.sys driver when you install Windows 2000 SP4 from a USB CD drive

When you try to install Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4), the installation seems to succeed. However, when the computer restarts to complete the installation of Windows 2000, you experience a Stop error in the Usbd.sys driver. The Stop error message is similar to the following: You may also receive this error message when one of the following conditions is true:

• You try to install Windows 2000 from a universal serial bus (USB) CD drive that is connected to a USB hub.
• You remove a USB compatible digital camera from a USB hub.

This problem occurs because the Usbd.sys driver tries to access a particular memory location that the Usbd.sys driver has already released.
