I have a Windows 2000 computer that when it boots up, goes to the Windows 2000 Splash screen and than to the Blue Screen of Death, it is only up for the most 2 seconds than it reboots and goes through the same process all over again. I was able to take a picture of the blue screen to see what it said.
Stop: c0000218 (Registry file Failure)
the registry cannot load the hive (file):
\systemroot\system32\config\software
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent or not writable.
Beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.
I have tried to reboot with last known good. however that did not work.
I placed my Win2000 CD in, rebooted and tried to do a Repair, but it came up saying that it could not find the repair software or something to that effect. I did a Chkdsk c: /p /r and it found and fix some errors, however when i rebooted i still got the blue screen
I do not have an ERD diskette so I can not do that procedure.
Any one have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
