From: bilm on 11 Dec 2009 15:16 You're right. That one link (bad choice) was not for XP. Actually there is a way to access an NTFS drive from DOS and thus repair a corrupt registry but it all seems like such a lot of work for something that is such a common problem. You would think MS would come up with a little program to do this. I'll check out ERD Commander. regards, bilm "bilm" <jetons86896(a)mypacks.net> wrote in message news:%23l3YIygeKHA.1648(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> The Windows registry can't be restored from DOS mode. > Leonard that's not true.

From: Questor on 11 Dec 2009 15:33 bilm: If you mean true DOS (as in DOS 6.22) then it cannot read NTFS file structure. What you may mean is the Command window/Command prompt at startup. This isn't a true "DOS", but a simple command window. True, it does a lot of things that the old DOS used to do (including reading NTFS file structure) but it shouldn't really be labeled a "DOS".

If so, the method outlined here should be one of the first methods you try: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304449 Using System Restore should get you back to the point in time before your registry became corrupt. ERUNT is another option: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/
From: Leonard Grey on 11 Dec 2009 16:56 What "common problem"? Most people never corrupt their registry. I haven't corrupted my registry ever. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est On 12/11/2009 3:16 PM, bilm wrote: > You're right.
