I have a
'Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive
(file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate'
error, which I am trying to resolve in order to salvage data from my laptop.
I managed to enter into the Recovery Console and am in the process of typing:
md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak
delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default
copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default
Right. I typed 'md tmp' (Enter)
Then 'copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak'
(Enter)
Got a message: 1 file(s) copied.
Then, on the third line, after typing
'copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak'
I get the following message: The file could not be copied.
Can someone please help as to what I can do and if I do not have the
'software' file copied, will I still be able to retreive my work???
Any comments appreciated!
I haven't attempted to go any further because I do not know whether the
commands needed to be input in order or not.
Thank you!
