Registry recovery program that works in DOS ?
Is there a program that can rebuild the registry from the last restore point
that works in DOS mode ? When I get a crash caused by a corrupt registry, Windows won't boot. I'm familiar with the pains taking method where the Windows install DVD is used with the Recovery Console. Lots of typing and rebooting. I was hoping for an easier way. thanks, bilm

Open the search engine of your choice (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) and
use this as your search term: backup the windows XP registry The Windows registry can't be restored from DOS mode. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est bilm wrote: Is there a program that can rebuild the registry from the last restore point that works in DOS mode ?

The Windows registry can't be restored from DOS mode.
Leonard that's not true. I just spent hours today doing exactly that. If you google on "restore windows XP registry DOS" you'll find lots of examples.

Registry recovery program that works in DOS ?
That article is dated August 7, 2000! Do you think it applies to Windows XP?
In any case, DOS can't read an NTFS-formatted partition. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est On 12/10/2009 9:49 PM, bilm wrote: The Windows registry can't be restored from DOS mode.

Registry recovery program that works in DOS ?
You're right. That one link (bad choice) was not for XP.
Actually there is a way to access an NTFS drive from DOS and thus repair a corrupt registry but it all seems like such a lot of work for something that is such a common problem. You would think MS would come up with a little program to do this. I'll check out ERD Commander. regards, bilm "bilm" wrote in message ... The Windows registry can't be restored from DOS mode.

Registry recovery program that works in DOS ?
bilm:
If you mean true DOS (as in DOS 6.22) then it cannot read NTFS file structure. What you may mean is the Command window/Command prompt at startup. This isn't a true "DOS", but a simple command window. True, it does a lot of things that the old DOS used to do (including reading NTFS file structure) but it shouldn't really be labeled a "DOS".
