Does anyone have a solution for the error message:

Windows cannot load the registry hive
systemroot\windows\system32\system or software
either is corrupt or missing

I have had these messages many times and I cannot start windows after that.I found a solution that I do

f.e ren software software.bak and then
copy c:\windows\repair\software
all this in the recovery console

but when I do that windows start bu all my settings and installations are missing.

Any ideas?except format
 
since you say it's a re-occuring problem it would probably be best for you to do a clean install either way. Also make sure you do a complete chkdsk and make sure there are no errors with your drive causing the corrupt hive.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
