is my laptop screwed

Lathum · 04-22-2005, 07:03 PM

everytime I try to boot I get an error message.

VFAT Device Initialization Failed

A device or resource required by VFAT is not present or is unavailable. VFAT can not continue loading.

System halted.

I think this is not good. Any advice?

Sounds like your running Windows 9x/ME

You might be able to get away with re-installing the OS. DON'T re format... just re-install. You'll lose some settings, but the data should be OK. Maybe.
