registry on secondary attached hard drive

[Gordon J. Rattray]

Hi there,

Is there any way I can read the registry on a second hard drive that used to
be the primary hard drive on another computer.

I took the hard drive out of the other computer and put it as a secondary on
my computer to access the files.

I also would like to access the registry in it to see some settings.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Gordon

Run regedt32, then from the Local Machine Hive, choose Registry|Load Hive.
Then navigate to the location of the hive you want to edit/read. Give it
some tempname (doesn't matter what). Then when your done, move the cursor
back to tempname, then Registry|Unload Hive, Registry|Exit
