    After completing the installation of an HP 7310xi all-in-one printer
    on an HP Pavilion running Win98 SE, the following occurs:

    After the Windows banner appears at startup, a bluescreen appears with
    the message "VFAT Device Initialization Failed system halted"

    Went to MS Site and download all the instructions given here:

    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=139063

    Did everytthing they suggested for Win98, but the problem remains.

    Any ideas?

    TIA

    Start the problem computer in "Command Prompt", type "edit c:\winboot.ini"
    and press "Enter". Type in the following text, then press "Alt-F", then "S". Then
    reboot. If Windows starts normally, rename the file to "c:\msdos.sys", then see
    http://support.microsoft.com/?id=129998.

    [Paths]
    WinDir=C:\WINDOWS
    WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS
    HostWinBootDrv=C
    [Options]
    BootGUI=1
    ;end
