My neighbour asked me to look at their machine that had started to
continually reboot. Having turned off the restart on failure, I could see
that the problem was a Registry Error with Stop code 0x51.
I've had no joy in in being able to setup windows, repair windows or use
recovery console to restart windows (XP Home). At every turn I get BSOD.
I've requested yesterday hotfix from Microsoft having submitted an online
request (why can't I download directly??) but still waiting. No doubt won't
receive anything until after weekend.
In meantime I used my copy of XP Pro and tried to run recovery console from
this - I'd seen a reference on net on error code from someone who'd had exact
same problem.
Like them, when selecting windows installation it didn't BSOD but asked for
Administrators password. There isn't one but it's still expected. Is there
a "default " password? Is Pro Recovery Console different to Home version ??
If there is a default password appreciate knowing or if someone has hotfix
for XP Home to save waiting, appreciate link.
Thanks
