  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.

  Hey Chris,

  Thank you for visiting the Windows Xp forum

  I was wondering if you run a retail or OEM of Windows version. If you are using an OEM version of windows, you will need to use the recovery options you have from the manufacturer of your computer. If you run a commercial version, feel free to follow the article in the knowledge base you have found.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 how to recover a corrupted registry

  I was also wondering if you have another computer to work? If so and you feel comfortable or know someone who can remove the hard drive from the computer and connect it to another computer. You can view the disk hard kit to join. Once the hard drive is connected, you can go in my computer and copy all the files to another hard disk.

  If you do not have the Windows XP installation disk, I recommend you to make arrangements for a disc that is the same edition as it is installed on your machine.

  You need to work with someone who has actually really seen and corrected this questions a few thousand times in the real world.

  You must first start by entering in the XP Recovery Console and running a chkdsk/r from there.

  If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD from which you cn safe in the XP Recovery Console or you are not sure that you have a bootable CD, make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r there.

  Here's how:

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  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 might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  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:

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  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.

  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.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

• Check the file system on C or registry cannont load the hive!

  Ok... I have a Dell Vostro 1510... all of a sudden, I can't on this laptop!  I have Windows XP Professional.  It lights up when I choose to start windows... I am said to be:

  Checking file system on c:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  Volume label is System.

  Then, when it starts to run it says: CHKDSK checks the files (step 1 of 3)... it happens to 47% finished and that's all!  It won't do anything else, it just stops!

  If I have to cancel the verification file system I get this message:

  STOP: c0000218 {Registry file failure}

  The registry cannot load the hive (file):

  \SystemRoot\System32\Config\System

  or its log or alternation.

  It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing.

  I do not have the disks provided with the laptop or I will say that I can not find them... I read a lot of these forums but none I saw helps me!  Because I can not enter and try to run anything!

  Thanks for any help in advance!

  I see you mentioned do not have all the disks with the laptop and maybe it's that he came not with any, because the installation files are likely in a hidden partition.

  but try to borrow a winxp cd and boot with it.

  then in the window settings pitch repair to start the recovery console.

  then at the prompt of disk, run the following >:

   

  Chkdsk /r

  Chkdsk /f

   

  then exit, remove the cd and restart the computer.

   

  the above commands are redundant, but nothing wrong with double controls.

   

  In addition, if you receive a following error on boot sector, then run via the recovery console fixmbr.
