I would like you to try the following from the Reatogo desktop command prompt. Press enter after each line :

[b]
CD C:\windows
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[/b]

I tried to enter these lines, but I always get the message “The system cannot find the drive specified”

Do you have the windows CD or the recovery console installed ?

4

I should be able to find it :slight_smile:

OK once you get the cd up and running you will need to press R to enter the recovery console. This screen will appear after it has loaded the set up files

When the command prompt appears

Type the following command :

Chkdsk c: /r

This will reset the boot data

Then try a reboot to normal windows

If that fails then use the sequence of commands in my first post

Yep, that did the trick, thanks a lot for your kind help!

Was it chkdsk ?

Yes, that was ths solution.
