I ws attempting to install Win 95 on my Compaq Armada 1120. I got a VFAT message. Now I can't get the computer to do anything. Does anyone know what I can do short of taking it to a tech shop.

I was attempting to install Win 95 on my Compaq Armada 1120. Now, when I turn on the laptop, I got a VFAT message, something like "VFAT device initialization failed... system halted". Now I can't get the computer to do anything. Maybe this can help.

Make sure the laptop has a valid "c:\msdos.sys" file, something like this: [Paths] WinDir=C:\WINDOWS WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS HostWinBootDrv=C [Options] BootGUI=1 ;end Ben > I was attempting to install Win 95 on my Compaq Armada > 1120.

Solution is simple: Check if IFSHLP.SYS exists in Windows directory. If it does, delete config.sys from root directory. If it does not exist, you need to get it from someone else. zel <jlmartinho@mail.telepac.pt> wrote in article <50204819d6036825601f619d572f90ef@localhost.talkaboutsoftware.com>... > I was attempting to install Win 95 on my Compaq Armada > 1120.
