View Full Version : VFAT Error


May 23rd 04, 04:41 PM
Recently, I have encountered the VFAT error. I conducted
a search of the Microsoft KB for VFAT, and discovered
Microsoft KB article ID - 139063 that addresses this
issue. This article provides six options to resolve this
problem. However, I wasn't sure about the intent of
option three, which addresses the use of the Ifshlp.sys
statement as follows:

If the following Ifshlp.sys statement is deleted from the
Config.sys file
after you reinstall Windows: DEVICE=C:\Windows\Ifshlp.sys

First, I didn't have to reinstall Windows; it is the
existing operating system. Second, should the Config.sys
file have a Ifshlp statement (i.e.,
Device=C:\Windows\Ishlp.sys) as indicated? I accessed the
Config.sys in safe mode and safe mode prompt only and it
does not appear to have this statement. Should I edit the
Config.sys and add this line?

If anyone could respond to my questions in options 3, it
would be greatly appreciated.
