That was helpful. Now I am not sure if this should be a new post. But this
is what I am trying to do, but so far, I am unsuccessful. I need to change
the default value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Session Manager
The default value is:
BootExecute:REG_MULTI_SZ:autocheck autochk *
The computer keeps trying to run the chkdsk automatically, and right after
that i get a blue screen and I can never log into windows (In any mode).
When I run the boot disk, I even see a small note about the disk being
mounted in read only b/c the volume is dirty. And that is the main thing, I
need to flag the volume as "not dirty", which changing the value in that
registry key will do (I think).
So if you have experience using the boot disk, let me know. i was able to
successfully load the hives, but once I am in the Hives, and I do a ls for
the list of keys, once i try to use the cd command to change keys, it says,
keys not found. I figure I must be using the syntax of the commands wrong.
Help!
