From: walter deodiaus on 16 Feb 2010 00:16 I had a HP Pavillion a1632x running WinXP64 media ed which was hit by a virus. I could not recover via the recovery mode. I made the mistake of installing Vsta (updating was unavailable). Is there a way to access the old registy using the remote registy call call it WinXP1.reg ? If I were to install XP from scratch, export my registry into a file WinXP2.reg, import WinXP1.reg, and then overwrite the latest from WinXP2.reg, would I get a useable system

If Vista was a clean install, and you say "updating was unavailable" then everything on C was lost. And anyway if you could'nt recover from a virus, whats the point in restoring a compromised registry?
