My laptop's registry being corrupted, apparently.

Although this isn't a bad thing per sé, as I, according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545, get to do cool stuff like go into the Windows XP recovery console like in the old days to get back in touch with my inner nerd.

You can/should also frequently make backups of your registry which is in: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config

You can boot with another OS (from a Usb-stick for example) and replace the old files per hand. Of course only if the other things you tried didn`t work. :)

That's what the Mike Rowe Soft knowledgebase said too, :monster:. I don't need to make backups of my registry btw, MS does that itself. There's also an emergency backup of sorts of registry. What I did:

Go into the recovery console
Make a backup of the stuff in system32/config
Copy the same stuff from c:\windows\repair ('backup' / 'emergency' registry)
Reboot. This allows Windows to boot up again.

Next step is to get into the System Volume Information folder - it's so hidden, you can't access it in DOS it seems :monster:. Scour that for a semi-recent backup, and copy those files to a publically viewable folder under the windows directory. Then go back into recovery console and do the copypasta thing.

I did that, but I think the backup was copypasta'd too. I should try again with an older backup.


@thread, my WoW subscription (I paid for a full month) expiring. The bad part is that I feel compelled to shell out for another month.

After that though, I should get Starcraft 2 and spam it. At least you only have to pay once for that one, :monster:.

1. I don`t know this guy. so :monster:

2. Windows does backups, but it`s not very reliable.

There were cases where it was corrupted/broken too. (c:\windows\repair, I mean)

3. Like I said before "if the other things you tried didn`t work" then you can try what I suggested. Making backups yourself is much more reliable. The success rate is much higher.

4. A full backup is best of course.

Btw, do you know the tools Unlocker(Files and Folder are more accessable) and Testdisk(A great tool for reading/restoring/reparing of partitions/MBR)

Unlocker is quite likely one of the most useful and frequently used tools I have at work. Google Desktop, Firefox and Tortoise SVN frequently make a file in my project's build directory undeletable, which makes the build fail, which causes FRUST!. Unlocker fixes it.

But does it work properly with a registry file while it's being used? :monster:.

I wouldn`t even try that!
But it can give you access to the registry backups of the system recovery files in the System Volume Information folder. (damn long sentence :awesome:)

The fact that even shitty sales jobs want experience and there being so few jobs near by pisses me off. Little point have a job if a big part of my pay will go towards travelling there and back :sadpanda:

Tbh, Mako's incessant faggotry always pisses me off somewhat. I just figured it pissed everyone else, too, and it was one of those things that just goes without saying.

Still have to work tomorrow...eleventh day in a row. Thankfully, it will be a half day, and then my three and a half day weekend can start.
