Boot error

Posted: 10-20-2003, 01:38 PM
The last few times I rebooted XP Home, I got the message "One of the files
of the system registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate
copy. The recovery was successful." The system seems to be operating fine,
but I get the message every time I boot. Any ideas why?

Go to Recovery Console and type:

cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren system.alt systemalt.old
copy c:\windows\repair\system
copy c:\windows\repair\regback\system
exit

If this only happens on one user account, there is probably some corruption
in the registry hive for this user account. Try logging on with a different
account to see if the same thing occurs.

If this happens with every account, there may be more extensive damage to
the registry. If possible, restore the system to a time that predates this
message.

Boot Error

I apologize in advance as this is an issue about ME, not XP but i have found
a really good level of experience in this group so I hope someone might shed
some light on this matter.

I have a strange problem on a lap top. My niece's boyfriend recently opened
an e-mail that MAY have contained a virus. After he clicked it open, he
noticed a DOS box on the desktop. He then decided to download Norton from
the University's server. It downloaded fine but now whenever he tries to
boot the computer he gets a message "Windows is unable to upgrade file %1
from %2" and this is followed by the next line %1 %2

The machine is a Dell Inspiron with 128MbRAM running ME. I can boot off the
CD and get to a command prompt and my initial impression is that everything
seems intact (except the OS). All his files and folders look OK. I have the
CD to restore ME but before I take that step, I was hoping someone might
know something about this error.
TIA

Carl S

My wife's computer no longer boots. This was after downloading service pack
2 and rebooting as recommended. It now hangs at various locations and then
the System Recovery demands a password. Which we don't have, nor do we know
what it's asking for. So we can't even re-install the operating system.

Help?

Hi

If you are running XP Home Edition try leaving the password box blank.
