After I turn my computer on and before "Windows is starting..." screen,
my computer freezes showing the blue screen with following message:
" STOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure}
The Registry cannot load the hive (file)
\Systemroot\System32\config\software
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable."
I have not installed any new software/hardware prior to this.
I just shutdown my computer last night, and tried to turn it on this morning
and I get the above message. Tried to start windows in safe mode, but no
luck, same screen with same message appears. So far, I have tried fixboot
command and installed another windows xp on the same c: drive in different
folder therefore I am able to access the files. I am looking for an answer
other than formatting the drive in which I will need to re-install every
single program I have ever installed along with all the files in my "My
Document" folder which does not allow me to access.
