The config.sys file was used by earlier versions of Windows to define device drivers, disk cache settings, etc. Windows 2000 and Windows XP don't use the file, and it can be safely deleted.
with your Windows XP operating system, the Config.nt file is used for the same kind of tasks formerly performed by Config.sys.
My guess is that the file is left-over from an earlier version of Windows, if you upgraded, or it was created by an older program that someone installed or attempted to install.
Config.sys is located on the root of your C: drive. Open the file up in a text editor like Notepad. See what the line line one in the file is. You may even want to just remove the line (after making a backup of the file first.) Or rename the config .sys file entirely as it is not necesary for XP. Make a not of any program or devices that have a problem after removing, renaming or modifying the config.sys file.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
pls answer to the question asap
