    You can get a bootdisk here. Go to safe mode and try doing a system restore. If you can't get into safemode this MS Article tells how to do system restore from a command prompt.

    reply to boot error

    Thanks so much for the reply. I now have a boot disk, but now i am getting this message:

    While initializing device IFSMGR

    The Microssoft installable File System Manager cannot find the helper driver. Please ensure that IFSHLP.SYS has been installed.

    System halted

    Any more suggestions?

    Thanks:confused:

    MSKB Article . Are you sure the bootdisk download was successful? If you didn't, use a new IBM formatted floppy. You could also try a bootdisk downloaded from another location.
