Got this blue screen and message:
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY or its log or alternate. It is currupt, absent or not writable. Beginning dump of physical memory Dumping physical memory to disk: xx It goes thru a check disk and all's ok (I assume that the hd is ok...), then I get the message and blue screen of death. Tried booting off of the XP cd and - nothing. I've tried going to "Safe" mode and - it won't. I've tried bring up the command prompt and - nothing. Can't get the recovery console. I've been surfing the net for a solution (Google) and I keep coming up with different solutions Ant solutions??? |

There's one guaranteed solution: reinstall windows.
Good luck. ^_- Make a backup of your registry next time, perhaps? My security guide @ Zeropaid

I have a funny feeling you have a hard drive crash of some sort. I am battlling a simular problem on a computer given to me recently.

Reformat before the reinstall if that's what you decide to do. I seem to remember something about recovery thing in the installation of XP, might wanna try that, other than that, I don't know.
How's about them apples?

I'm using an older pc that was in the closet, so, I'm going back and forth.
I just went into the bios (had to use "delete". the cd-rom is the first boot and it still won't boot the XP cd. I've tried :safe mode, safe mode with networking, command prompt, last known config, windows - normal...still gets the BSOD (blue screen of death. Before if goes into the bsod, it goes thru a check disk and it states this: Windows has checked the file system and found no problems. The *7%(%(9 thing won't let me do a &^$*^ thing!!!!! It goes right back to the bsod. I can't get to the recovery console because it won't let me boot from anywhere. (i betcha Bill Gates has a Mac) (I betch he's running Linux) I can't get to a command prompt. (*&^*&6 windows !!!!!!!!1 I'm going Redhat as soon as I get every trace of Windows from off of this pc. _(*^*)*(*&_(^) Bill Gates Thanks all !!!! |

Soak your registry in salt water for 4 hours, then grab the hair dryer and hop in.

I have the answer and it is Linux!
The problem by the way is windows, and the mere fact that it KEEPS a registry, which is stupid. |
