Windows 2000 in a loop

by dave.raj . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

Hi, I have done a really stupid thing today. By mistake I deleted the registry key HKLM/Software/Microsoft, an error message appeared saying there was an error when deleting the key. So I thought that is ok.
I rebooted the machine and now it just keeps going in a loop, it gets to the Windows 2000 screen and then it restarts. I cannot get into safe mode or Last known good configuration, the same loop happens after the Windows 2000 screen appears. I tried repairing the installation with the Windows 2000 CD, I did a fast repair and a manual repair, and there was still no fix.It still keeps going in a loop.

If anyone can help, that would be so good. I don’t want to reformat and re-install Windows 2000 because I will lose a lot of important data, but I guess I deserve it 🙁

Please help if there are any geniuses out there

Thanks
Dave
