STOP: c0000218

[Jon]

I appear to have a corrupt Windows 2000 Pro registry and was given
instructions on this newsgroup.
This is where I have got to (explanation of the original problem is at the
bottom):

I've downloaded the chkreg util and created my xp boot disks modifyed the 6
disk,
restarted with disk 1 in gradually put each disk in as it asks for it. It
then gives me the option of installing xp, system recovery (repair) or to
quit

Which option should I be selecting, repair I assume?

------------------------------------------

From a cold startup my Windows 2000 system starts to bootup. It gets to the
graphical windows 2000 start up screen (the white blocks get right to the
end) just before the GUI appears and it reboots. It does this 3 times and
then goes into Windows normally. A blue screen briefly appears with the
following information before it reboots:

STOP: c0000218 (registry file failure)
The Registry cannot load the hive (file):
\systemRoot\System32\config\SOFTWARE
or it's log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent or not writable
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system technical support group.


When I finally get into Windows The event log has recorded the following:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0xc0000218
(0xe166e148, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000
[v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini010405-01.dmp.
Any ideas what this might be to do with?

It always happens each day on a cold startup. It doesn't tend to happen if
I reboot it whilst it's been on for a while.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
