My wife's computer gives the message (on the dreaded blue screen):
STOP:c0000218{Registry file failure} The registry cannot load the hive
(file): \Systemroot\Systemroot32\config\SECURITY or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
I have tried to use the repair option on an XP reinstall using the Dell disk
but I get the message:
Attempt to repair: Setup cannot create the folder: \WINDOWS\system
32\drivers\disdn
The only other alternative seems to be a complete reinstall of XP but that
tells me that I will lose all her files, applications, settings, etc.!
Help! What to do?
