Hello,
My win98 machine boots to 'invalid system disk'
I booted from a startup disk and got to a system prompt. from there I changed to the windows directory and typed 'win'. No HIMEM.sys, so copied it to the directory and reboot. No avail. after reading forums and help figured a config.sys file off boot disk and modified it with himem lines. Now it boots to a c:. change to widows dir and win, vfat error. add line to config.sys regarding ifshlp.sys and now computer starts to windows. It took a long time to get started, I fiqured it was rebuilding a file.
Now when I reboot it is back to the 'invalid system disk'.
It seems the config.sys file went away.
I am at wits end, can anyone help or guide me to some resources in this forum or others?
Thanks very much.
