Are you trying to perform a system restore? If not, try disabling your system restore function, see if that helps.

No my problem is not being able to do a system restore. My main problem is that on startup , i get a popup error message in windows xp with a title box "msdosdrv" and error message "I/O error 103".

I have tried doing system restore to "un-do" whatever happened, but as usual windows system restore sucks.

I think i resolved the problem. Whatever happened, a msdosdrv.exe was placed inside my C:\Windows and some files associated with msdosdrv.exe were found in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder as well. Deleted the files and reboot and now everything works fine. Thanks
