Troubleshooting VFAT Error
Recently, I installed a Spyware Search & Destroy
Software. After running a scan of all files, I identified a few items to be removed. Once these items were removed, the VFAT error started to occur. I tried to restore the items removed, but hat has not resolved the problem. I conducted a search of the Microsoft KB for VFAT, and discovered Microsoft KB article ID - 139063 that addresses this issue. This article provides 6 options to resolve this problem. Microsoft KB article ID - 139063 This problem can occur under any one of the following conditions: If the Ifshlp.sys file is missing from the Windows folder. Finding: Ifshlp.sys is not missing from the Windows folder. -or- If the Config.sys file contains a line that points to a previous version of the Ifshlp.sys file. Finding: As far as I could tell, Config.sys does not contain a line that points to a previous version of the Ifshlp.sys. -or- If the following Ifshlp.sys statement is deleted from the Config.sys file after you reinstall Windows: DEVICE=C:\Windows\Ifshlp.sys Finding: I wasn't sure about the intent of this option. First, I didn't have to reinstall Windows. 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? -or- If the [Paths] section in the Msdos.sys file is incorrect. Finding: The [Paths] section in the Msdos.sys file appears to be ok. -or- If a Winboot.ini file from a previous incomplete installation is present in the root folder on your Startup disk. Finding: I didn't need need to use a startup disk since I was able to start the system in safe mode. -or- If a "maxfilecache = 4096" line is present in the System.ini file. RESOLUTION Finding: The maxfilecache=4096 line did not appear in the System.ini file. If anyone could respond to my questions in options 3, it would be greatly appreciated.
