"WINDOWS ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR ACCESSING THE SYSTEM REGISTRY. WINDOWS WILL RESTART AND REPAIR THE SYSTEM REGISTRY FOR YOU" This is the error message when I boot my PC where all installed hardware drivers is gone including installed softwares will notrun, it is just like installing a new OS without anything. So I desided to load another OS as dual OS using WinXP Pro. which I'm using now but I want to solve this problem. I already try changing my MB from Acorp to Aopen then Asus. still as it was,by the way I'm using PIII 600mhz 512 cache and 320 RAM, ATI VGA.

Here's a question for you? Did you set up the dual boot on the same partion or on separate partions? The good news is the XP system works! The bad news is I think you will have to repartion and reformat your hard drive to handle this difficulty (yes, I learned this the HARD way!) It's not the MB, it's the boot sector of your hard drive. Sorry!
Hope this helps!

Try loading the "Bad" OS over itself without deleting anything. It will (hopefully) correct missing and damaged files.
