I manually cleaned VBS_Kak virus from my system and as I finished cleaning I restarted the system but I couldn't boot. It keeps asking me the startup disk. Even I couldn't boot to Safe Mode. I was very careful not delete any system files I was cleaning. and I am sure I didn't delete any file. I inserted a start-up disk and tried to boot from dos typing WIN at C:\windows Command Prompt but it gave me this message in blue screen
"a device or resource required by VFAT is not present or is unavailable. VFAT cannot continue loading. System halt"

Please help me
