Tried that. No joy. Does anyone know how to get a new registry hive or boot up through a master/slave configuration? -- ripped ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ripped's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/226683.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1342267.htm http://forums.techarena.in

There is no part of KB307545 that says put the drive in another machine and look at the System Volume Information folder - you do all of KB307545 on the afflicted machine. You are not following the article if you moved the drive to another machine. Some of the things you are trying to do will not work like you might think and they are not supposed to work like you might think/hope. Make the Recovery Console CD like I suggested before so there is no question about are you using the right tools Do not boot the HP recovery partition. Do not move the drive to another machine. Boot on the Recovery Console CD you just made and run chkdsk /r until it runs clean. Since you have already futzed around with KB307545 there is no telling what state things are in now. KB307545 is written assuming you are running the XP Recovery Console and have not moved the drive - not something else. I have never used KB307545 to resolve the issue you describe, but it really does work just fine if you follow the directions exactly But it is not the first thing to do when you have the issue you describe. It is the first thing that will be suggested to you (not by me) because when you perform a Google search, that is the link that comes up for your symptom. The first thing to do is boot Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r. The article assumes your registry really is corrupt and chances are good (or they were) that is not the problem at all in spite of what the message says. Since you started with KB307545, you might as well finish it up now - start over at step one using the XP Recovery Console you made, run chkdsk /r and then implement the KB307545. After you did part one, what happens in part two? There is no step in the process that says move the drive to another machine and look in the SVI folder. This is what sometimes happens when you just start trying things... I think you can get it going if you stop trying things and start doing things.

From: ripped on 3 Jun 2010 13:11 I ran a virus scan which claimed that pagefile.sys was infected and deleted. Now I have the repeating boot problem lsass doesn't like a password. Tried the restore again just in case, still doesn't work. Also now, Recovery Console says the admin password is wrong when I pick that windows installation. -- ripped ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ripped's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/226683.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1342267.htm http://forums.techarena.in

I tried to run the restore cd's that were supposed to put it back to original state. But they say they can't update the registry. If I did a destructive restore, how do I get all my programs back that have been installed in the last 7 years? And all their updates? Reinstalling windows destroys everything else. -- ripped ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ripped's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/226683.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1342267.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
