If you know third-party software will

load the hive, is there some reason you are not able to use the third-party software to do the work you need, in the first place?Have you tried opening (a copy of) the hive on a newer version of Windows?

I will explain below after fully responding.3) The hive is from Windows XP Home, and I have tried opening it using regedit on Win XP Pro, but not on any versions of Vista.Explanation of situation:Friend messed with registry, not sure what she deleted from it. On subsequent boot, received BSOD STOP error 0x00000051. After showing me, I used my XP disk to get into Recovery Console, which prompted me for an Admin password, but unfortunately she believes she never set one. Whatever the case, I downloaded Petter Nordahl's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/) and created
I do it, I think about all those people doing repair installs (in-place upgrades). It works pretty much every time unless the filesystem is really truly screwed, in which case you need a backup, say
Error While Loading Hive Windows 7
from the system restore directory (System Volume Information), as per this knowledgebase article (don’t windows xp iso bother with the recovery console though, use your USB to IDE or USB to SATA cable and fix it from your hirens boot cd laptop.) Here are the symptoms. You try to start up your Windows 2000/XP (Vista too?) computer and you get a message, white text on black background: Windows could not start because the following file is missing http://forum.sysinternals.com/regedit-question-unable-to-load-hive-error_topic19671.html or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM or Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE Sometimes, the message is cut short, so you might see “\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYS” or similar. Hint: If it’s really cut short, and you can’t see if it’s SOFTWARE or SYSTEM, do the following procedure on both files. Whichever one is identified as having been repaired, well that’s the one that was broken 😉 Anyway, how to fix http://www.css-networks.com/2010/12/recovering-from-windows-registry-hive-corruption-the-clever-or-smart-way/ it in 2 minutes: Use your USB to IDE/SATA adapter cable, and connect the broken machine’s hard drive to your laptop, or your spare PC or whatever. You don’t have to use a USB to IDE/SATA adapter cable – if you’re a person at home with another PC you can stick the drive on a spare IDE or SATA channel. You just need to get that hard drive into a working Windows XP computer for a few minutes. Windows will mount the broken computer’s hard drive as, say E: or F:. Make sure you have your computer set to show hidden files and also system files. To check this, go into My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options, -> View Tab, and select “Show hidden files”, and make sure “Hide protected operating system files” is not ticked. First things first, run chkdsk on that drive, after all it is most likely filesystem corruption that has caused the registry to become corrupt in the first place. In My Computer, right-click the broken computer’s drive and choose properties. Go to tools, “Check Now”, put a tick in only the first box (Automatically fix filesystem errors), and click start. Let that finish before continuing. Here’s where the magic happens. Go to start -> run, and t

While the registry can be a forbidding place, you have options for restoring the system hive of your server's registry and avoiding data loss.

It’s a mysterious place of strange spellings, capitalization, and spacing, but it’s also the heart of your server’s configuration. If there’s a problem with your server’s registry, chances are your entire network will suffer. In this Daily Drill Down, I’ll describe some problems with the system hive of the registry and how to recover from them.A registry refresherThe registry is a database that records and updates any and all settings changes you make on the computer. If you change your wallpaper or your display settings or install software on your server, Windows 2000 records these changes in the registry. The registry consists of subtrees, keys, values, data types, and hives.Subtrees represent the logical structure of the registry. Keys, values, and data types are all the information contained in the registry subtrees. They are all part of the registry’s logical structure. Data types represent the kinds of data the registry is expected to record (for instance, simple text strings or binary information). Hives, on the other hand, represent the registry’s physical
