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

Similar Questions

• 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.

  Here you go:

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

  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:

  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.

  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.

  There is no disk that came with it, but I have anouther computer with the same windows. I tried to find a way to make a BOOT disk but cannot find a way. Is there a way to solve this problem with the windows disc?

  It's a pretty popular mistake these days and sometimes easy to get running, but you also want to figure out how it happened.  I always suspect Symantec/Norton products with this error, but we'll see.

  If you currently or have already had a whole isntalled Symantec/Norton products, what are the names and versions (if you know).

  Other variants are:

  Hello wbtazzie,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  Use the recovery console to confirm that the hard disk or file system is not damaged Important we recommend that only advanced users or administrators use the Recovery Console.

  Note Only the administrator account can access the Recovery Console.

  1. Start your computer from the Windows XP CD drive. If prompted, select the options that you must select to start from the CD drive.

     Note To start your computer from the Windows XP CD drive, your CD drive or a DVD drive must be configured to do this. For more information about how to configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive or a DVD drive, refer to the documentation provided with your computer or contact the computer manufacturer.

  2. When you are prompted to select repair or recover, press R. This starts the Microsoft Recovery Console.

     Note You may need to enter the number to indicate the installation of Windows XP on the hard drive.

  3. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  4. Use the chkdsk command-line tool to examine the hard disks. At the command prompt, type chkdsk/r, and press ENTER.
  5. Read the results, and then take the steps you need to take to complete the process. For example, you may be prompted to run chkdsk /f to fix certain problems.
  6. Restart the computer and then try to run the installer again.

  Hope this helps

• blue screen after Ko 2840149, error - "STOP: c0000218 {Registry hive failure} the registry cannot load the hive (file): \systemroot\system32\config\SOFTWARE.

  I saw that it was a patch of replacement for a patch that crashed a lot of PCs.  Since there is no history on this patch, I wanted to check in a see what is the best way to fix this on a virtual machine?

  Being not so deep on VM, I wasn't sure if there was a better way. But I just put the virtual machine to load 2008 iso and then made the standard repair for registry problems off the coast of the article below.

  Of http:

  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
  (e) click on "Command prompt".
  (f) go to X:\sources\recovery > startrep.exe
  (g) this will take some time but will look at any registry related issues.

  Hello again from LiseMcDougall.,.

  You can try this: go to settings/general/PC settings, scroll down and find refresh your PC without affecting your files (Refresh). If your PC will not perform a refresh, you might need to perform a reset (the next option down), where it says delete all and then reinstall Windows. Make sure the RT device is plugged into a power outlet.

  You have a Windows XP CD?  You need start the recovery console to resolve this problem, or you will need to mount the drive in another computer.  If you do not have a Windows XP cd, you can download an .iso file on the net Recovery Console a burn to a cd.

  Start the recovery console, run chkdsk /r on the drive and see if that fixes things.  If the computer still shows the same error after running chkdsk then see here:
