I don't know if anyone can help with this. I recently upgraded my PC and decided to give the old one away. The old one is an emachine ME. I then deleted all the files etc from it. However, now when I turn it on I get the following message on a blue screen:
'The Microsoft installable file system manager cannot find the helper driver. Please ensure that the IFSHLP.SYS has been installed. System halted.'
And that's it. I can't get off that screen. I've tried re-starting it over and over again but nothing happens. I won't even start in safe mode.
I have been advised to try the ME startup disk to re-boot it. That's where things get even worse. I don't have a startup disk. Or a recovery disk. And the only ones I have seen to download have to be saved to a floppy disk. And my new PC does not have a floppy drive!
Please help!
