Blue Screen: Error Code C0000218(Registry File Failure) I have NO recovery disk, boot disk, etc. What can I do?

I have a desktop HP that I installed a new hard drive on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3. He has been working very well. But, the other day, I took out my DVD ROM and try it switched with different DVD - ROM, and when I restarted my computer, I got the "blue screen error Code: C0000218 (registry file failure)." The registry cannot load the HIVE (file). \System ROOT-SYSTEM 32-CONFIG-SOFTWARE or its log or alternate. It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing. "So, back to my main issue, I guess. How can I fiw it without any sort of disk recovery or boot disk etc... I know I could probably go buy some sort of recovery software, but can't afford it right now. Can someone help me, please?

You have all the Norton/Symantec products installed and if so, do you know which ones and versions?

You start with a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.

Here's how:

If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

xp_rec_con. ISO

Download the ISO from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

Press any key to boot from CD...

Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

CHKDSK C: /r

Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Hi sarajt


    When exactly do you get the Blue error screen?

    I hope this helps.

  • computer to rebboot for xp professional when get blue screen saying c0000218 Registry file failure.

    Restart the computer for xp professional when get bluescreen c0000218 Registry file failure

    The reason why I asked and have these specific examples of the error was:

    There was an older version of Norton (and now unsupported by Norton) who, after receiving an update, when the system has restarted, and Norton, loaded, it corrupted the system of files a bit (NTFS) so next time you have restarted, you will get this error.

    Run chkdsk /r from the Recovery Console XP fix it until the next reboot when new Norton loaded and it could corrupt the NTFS still once, then you would only get one go and should run chkdsk /r every reboot.  Allegedly, the system has worked fine - until the next reboot.

    If you run chkdsk /r and then restarted in Mode safe (so that Norton would not handle mode without failure), you can start and restart in Mode safe throughout the day without problem, but as soon as you started in Regular mode and Norton loading again, the system failed again.

    Uninstalling Norton and get their latest version fixed things upward.

    Any interruption of the power supply?  NTFS may result in corruption too that chkdsk/r will usually clear up.

    You wouldn't be able to apply the KB307545 without being able to start or something.  If MS Answers forums would prompt some system information when a new question is asked (as you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD), maybe one day we would not have this kind of answers that won't be of great use if you cannot start.

    If the Windows registry is slightly or moderately damaged, you may be able to restart the computer in safe mode and use system restore to restore the registry from the computer to the last known good configuration. However, if the Windows registry is seriously damaged, all types of logon will be prevented. Trying to connect to Windows causes the system fails, then restart. In this case, you will need to boot the system into the recovery instead of Windows Console. Once in the Recovery Console, you can use the Startup Repair tool. Startup Repair tool automates common diagnostic and repair of the installations of Windows tasks starts longer.

    (a) start your Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 DVD
    (b) on the first Setup screen click Next
    (c) in the lower left corner of the screen, choose "repair your computer".
    (d) on the System Recovery Options screen, select your Windows installation and then click Next

    Hi Anna K.

    When you encounter a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) in Windows, the computer saves information about the error message in a log file. This log file or minidump file is saved in the subdirectory of Windows Minidump (C:\Windows\MiniDump). Generally the information stored in the minidump file can help identify the cause of the blue screen error message and help you solve the problem.

    For more information on the reading of the memory dump files, see the following article:

    How read partial memory dump files that Windows creates for debugging

    See also:

    How to troubleshoot a Stop error 0x0000007E in Windows XP

    Note The article above applies to Windows XP. However, you can follow the steps to solve the problem.

  • Dell Inspiron6000 / Win XP SP3: screen blue C0000218 (registry file failure) error - HELP!

    Hello.

    I'm a complete newbie to all this so please keep it simple for me :)

    My laptop Dell Inspiron 6000 (purchased in 2006) has the blue screen of death.  He's going through the process initial priming and then at the start of the Win XP black screen with the blocks moving on the screen to complete darkness for about 10 seconds then blue screen.

    The initial error was as above with the title, as it reported:

    The registry cannot load the hive file:

    \systemroot\system32\config\default

    or its log or alternation.  It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing.

    Laptop and then thrown out of physical memory and remained in that State until I put in now the power button power off / stop.

    What I've done so far:

    1 tried to start in safe mode - will not start to last known good config etc or in any safe mode - it lists various programs and then stops at themup.sys file then possibly a blue screen.

    2. run the tree of symptom diagnosis for "can not boot the OS " - failed the following tests:

    DRIVE IDE S/N [serial ]

    read (error code 0F00:0244 ),

    check (data error impossible to fix error code 0F00:1 A 44 msg block 346292 or media is write protected )

    Passed the following tests: device self test, search, SMART, launch control (slowed down) unit, stop the command unit (standby mode).

    3. with a Dell technician on the phone, we did the hard drive (DST short status test) diagnostic tests and the message returned was:

    Unit 0: Status of the IDE failed status byte = 64 control code = 1 Msg no = no additional sense information.

    The Dell technician has determined that the hard drive was not so I need a new.  Is this true? Could there be any other cause?

    4. run a Test Express via diagnosis - on confidence Test it reportedcode 0F00:1344 with Error Msg: block incorrigible data error 344575 or media is media is protected .  Reinforced the message with several blocks - basically all one of 367933 to 346292.

    Other information that might be relevant

    1. A few weeks ago I remember an error message (think blue screen came then as well, but not as shown above), then it auto ran chkdsk, said something to be dirty, completed and started normally.
    2. Some time ago (6 months), I did a "full backup of the system" through windows in which I myself remember a section of the disk has been partitioned "in case of emergency.  Plug my Maxtor hard drive on my desktop, I can see the backup and explore folders - one is called windows and there a subfolder called to repair ; Another is called 'State system' with folders calledboot files , COM + registration database class , register .  Is there a file called 'default' in there that I could replace the defective one with?
    3. Windows XP is professional, version 2002 with Service Pack 3.  I don't have disks, OEM installed.

    What I would do:

    Of course, to fix the computer, but as always, to retrieve the data I have on it (a lot!) as well as the programs/applications I have on it.  A friend said use what we call "hirems mini xp"-apparently it starts from a cd and looks like a windows safe mode, then copy all data on my external Maxtor drive?  Can I get to a point where I could restart windows normally and do a full save / copy data/applications?

    Can I get another hard drive (assuming that the Dell technician is correct in that it doesn't have / does not) and transfer all the files from the old hard drive on my Maxtor external drive, then on the new hard drive (I read somewhere in these forums, you can get a kind of "box" usb Link the old hd once out , the new hd once in the laptop - it is a better option? Where can I get this kit?

    I would appreciate any help/tips on how to recover from this situation.

    Thank you very much

    A friend (an very teccie one!) had a look and found that the head had crashed into the disc.  He had not received a blow as it was probably caused by my turn off the card in the stop - I would have thought the transfer of energy from the battery car would not have had impact, but we live and learn lol - won't do it again.  Ordered new hard drive...

    Hope that helps

    See you soon

  • blue screen error code 1000008e death.

    Original title: error code?

    I sometimes get the "blue screen of death"... with this error code:

    BCCode: 1000008e BCP1: E0000001 BCP2: B8400925 BCP3: AC4178B8
    BCP4: 00000000 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 product: 768_1

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Since the MS Answers forum does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  This makes troubleshooting difficult unless you like to try things.

    All the Microsoft Engineers do sometimes (most of the time) is just use the Bing search engine to see what happens to your error message and publish the first Microsoft KB article that appears in the search engine Bing (try it yourself and you will get the article sent you the MSE - which is unlikely to help all).  Who is troubleshooting not, is it?

    Did you take a glance at this KB article?  It's a bit overwhelming, and it requires you to have an XP installation CD and if you have one, it better be the same Service Pack as your Service Pack installed or things will go back.  However, the MSE was using the word "try" and that does not sound very confident for me-, but feel free to try.

    If you sometimes get only the BSOD, you provide a us with more information about your system and use something like BlueScreenView to see if you can understand what is underway.

    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?
    If your system works fine, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?
    Can you make the system crash when you want
    ?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:
    Msinfo32
    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.
    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
    Download BlueScreenView here:
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.
    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt
    .  Open BSOD.txt with a text editor, copy the text and paste it in your next reply.
    Here's an example of report ASB to a single BSOD I initiated on purpose that indicates the cause of the accident as the pilot i8042prt.sys belonging to Microsoft Corporation:

  • Blue screen error codes

    Dear community, I have a laptop from sony with windows vista.

  • Blue Screen Error Code Caused by hal.dll and ntkrnlpa.exe 9F.

    original title: BSOD error Code Caused by hal.dll and ntkrnlpa.exe 9F.

    Currently, I'm having a problem on a Fujitsu T1010 with Windows Vista x 84 installed tablet. At a random time that I use my computer, I get a generic blue screen with information DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. The error code is 0x0000009F (0 x 00000003, 0x86f692e0, 0x86f692e0, 0x865a6598). BlueScreenView.exe, I see that the root causes are hal.dll + 997f and ntkrnlpa.exe + f5b28. So far, I've had 14 accidents. I run the driver verifier and the causes are hal.dll + 726c and ntkrnlpa.exe + 2ea5a7 windrvr6.sys + 0. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

    Hello

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Updated drivers, BIOS and software control (if any) is a good idea.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - reset after each
    installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.
