Potential gotcha! The registry files are only updated when you run ntbackup with the backup system state data option. What gets copied to the ERD floppy? Windows recovery processes use this file to detect changes to core files. Boot using the setup floppy disks or using the installation CD. Type 'r' to enter recovery mode and 'r' again to enter ERD mode.
You can choose Manual Repair or Fast Repair. The fast option is a quick option. Fast option is the choice if one does not have much experience with the repair options or if one wanted a possible quick fix. No user interaction occurs.
The fast option repairs system files, boot sector problems, and registry hives. The manual mode gives the experienced administrator more control. Manual mode allows you verify that the w2k files in the system parition uncorrupted using the Inspect Startup Environment option.
Any files needing replacement are taken from the installation CD. If a file does not match, you are given the option to overwrite it from the installation CD copy. Finally there is an Inspect Boot Sector option. This option verifies that the boot sector refers to the correct ntldr.
XP does a better job that the other OS's but it is still hit and miss. Install the OS disc and boot from it than run through as if you are doing an install.
But when you get to the last window before formating your drive and starting over windows will offer you a chance to repair. Do this it will look like its installing a new OS but when done, if it works you will be able to start windows.
Even if it works You will probly have to reinstall some of your hardware and drivers. So have them ready. But there is always the chance that it won't even boot. If not booting you will have to do a new install. As always it is best to backup everything you want to keep before doing this or a new install. A new install will clean all the junk out but it will mean redoing all your tweaking again. SornyPanafonic, please do not double post. Your question will get answered as quickly as possible.
Thank you. DLL" i restarted my comp and windows tried to install again and the same error came up. Artical on this error unregmp2. DLL try this or from same recovery console try bootfix.

Like I said before after you get it up and save all your inportant stuff do a clean install. You must log in or register to reply here. Assuming that you have enough free hard disk space, you can always install a second copy of Windows NT and use this copy to fix the original copy. However, using this process can really put your skills to the test if you need to do anything more than just basic file manipulation. Fortunately, Microsoft understands just how hard life can be. In this Daily Feature, I'll discuss the Recovery Console in detail and explain how to use it to fix various problems.
What is the Recovery Console? The Recovery Console is a utility that's built into Windows This utility allows you to boot a PC containing a damaged copy of Windows to a command line.
From the command line, you may accomplish such tasks as enabling and disabling services and manipulating files, even if they're stored on an NTFS partition.
When you see the Windows splash screen, close it. We should warn you that the Recovery Console requires 74 MB of hard disk space. If your copy of Windows is already damaged and you can't install the Recovery Console in this way, don't worry. Any changes you have made in other registry keys remain. This includes problems with your registry, system files, partition boot sector, and startup environment. However, you may not be able to use the emergency repair process to fix your system unless you have created an Emergency Repair Disk ERD , which you can create using the Backup utility.
If you haven't created an ERD, you can still attempt to use the emergency repair process to fix your computer, but the emergency repair process may not be able to fix your problems. The following steps provide a general overview of the emergency repair process: Start your computer from the Windows Setup disks or the CD You can start your system using either the Windows Setup disks or the Windows CD. However, you can only use the CD to start your computer if your computer hardware and BIOS support this functionality.
Choose the repair option during setup After your computer starts, the Setup program will start. During Setup you will be asked whether you want to continue installing the Windows operating system. This will start the installation process, which allows you to repair your system. During this process you can choose whether you want to install a fresh version of Windows , or whether you want to repair an existing installation of Windows To repair a damaged or corrupt system, you should press R.
You will then be asked whether you want to repair your system using the Recovery Console or the emergency repair process. You should press R if you want to repair your system using the emergency repair process.
Choose the type of repair You can choose either the fast repair option, which is the easiest and doesn't require any user interaction, or you can choose the manual repair option, which requires user interaction.
The fast repair option will attempt to repair problems related to the registry, system files, the partition boot sector on your boot volume, and your startup environment if you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system. The manual repair option lets you choose whether you want to repair system files, partition boot sector problems, or startup environment problems, but it doesn't let you repair problems with your registry.
For example, using the manual repair option, you can attempt to repair only your system files if you know your partition boot sector and your startup environment are both intact. Notes The manual repair option should only be used by advanced users or administrators. The fast repair option will use a backup copy of the registry that was created when Setup was first run on your system.
