[CUT!] I had to reply because System Restore won't be able to help you if the system is unbootable even in Safe Mode due to registry corruption. e.g. the SYSTEM registry hive file is corrupted. The sure way to restore the registry is by booting into the Recovery Console (if you've already installed it), or a separate Windows installation (e.g. Windows PE). Then restore the registry files from that system. If the files are backupped using System Restore, copy the files from one of the subfolder in "C:\System Volume Information" folder, into "C:\Windows\System32\Config" folder. Otherwise, use your registry backup+restore tool (e.g. ERUNT, etc.). |
