While Initializing device IOS:
ERROR: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a file in the .\Iosubsys is corrupt or the
system is low on memory. I have tried to boot
with cd-rom and that has failed. I belive the file
C:Windows\System\Iosubsys is missing and I
can't figure out hhow to restore the file? HELP!

not being able to bood from the cd is a serious problem, and has nothing to do with whats going on with your hard drive. is your computer set to boot from the cd before the hard drive?

Boot from flopy and copy iosubsys over to your C: drive?
Posted by: smitall
Yes I changed to boot from CD-ROM and restarted and it showed
that it failed?-THANKS, IF i could Reload windows it might clear up the problem, any thoughts?

To:Booradley-Thanks. I boot from flooopy start up an then tried at the
promp A:\copy a:\*.*c:\windows\system\iosubsys (then enter) and I
get the reply ( File not found - a:\*.*c) 0 File(s) copied
This is why I think the file is missing! Any other Thoughts?--THANKS

the computer doesnt even look at your c drive until after your floppy and cd drive, if you have the bios configured properly. you have a completely seperate issue with the windows files. the main question is why cant you boot from the cd?
and put a space between the * and the c
Posted by: smitall
Redwench. The space worked! and I loaded one file and after that restarted and I get the same problem as in post 1. Anyone have any
suggestions how I can get to a point where I can reload Windows?
THANKS
