Hello All,
My looks like all issues have come at one shot.
I have dell ispron 6000 with cd/dvd drive.Windows XP was installed on
this machine.
3 days back my cd drive did not work . It did not respond to cd's which
perfectly worked fine on other laptop.
Yesterday windows crashed (Blue screen came up forcing me to reboot) .
On reboot it threw "Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry
cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or
its log or alternate" error.
Windows has a good document that said "How to recover from a corrupted
registry that prevents Windows XP from starting" . This covered my
issue. But since my cd drive did not work my bootable disc does not
work.
Now i need to make my flash drive bootable. I used my friends laptop to
make a bootable USB drive. But now it throws the following error "
Invalid system disk".
Can some one help me with following
a) best method for making USB flash drive bootable
b) solve issue with "Invalid system disk"
Thanks,
shalini
