Ive managed to get hold of a xp pro disk. Also i cant get it to read the disk when i boot up. Ive changed the boot up order in bios settings and still it does not read the cd it just takes me back to the same blue screen where it dumps the physical memory then starts over and over again. Do i need to delete the existing xp first?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI did not add any new memory to my systeme. however, I did remove my current memory to access the inside of my laptop. The fan wire had come loose so I reconnected. I fixed that problem only to find out the problem with the registry. I have chose the load last known configuration that worked correctly but it still gives me the little blue pop up screen with the error, then the restart.
I tried to use my windows xp os disk to try and repair it but it wont read the disc before the blue screen comes back up. I'm thinking of buying a Laptop To IDE Hard Drive Adapter. So, I could at least format my hard drive. I'm not sure if this would be a good idea. I went to the microsoft webpage that deals with this issue but I can not seem to find one to fix my problem.

I followed the link from other threads to the microsoft site explaining repairing the registry using the installation disk. I got the computer from my brother in law and do not know where the installation disks are. Also it was factory installed and the microsoft instructions say they do not work with OEM software. Is there a way to fix this without the disk? If I find the disk Dell supplied will it work since it it was not a XP install disk?
I have a dell dimension E310 with windows xp, and everytime I start my computer I get a blue screen, that says "c0000218 {Registry File Failure}The registry cannot load the hive (file):System Root System32Confg SAM or its log or alternate.It is corrupt, absent, or not writable" then "beginning dump of physical memory: physical memory dump complete." My warranty expired so dell won't help me unless I want to pay $50 for a phone call, and I was wondering if there is any way to fix my computer without losing everthing that was on it.

beginning dump of physical memory physical memory dump complete. contact your system administator or technical support group for further assistance." I was told that windows needed to be rebooted. So I moved my hard drive to another comp and transfered all my memory onto an external hard drive so I could reboot windows. I found an xp cd and tried to reboot from ide cd-rom and it wouldnt work. i ran a diagnostics on my ide and this error came up "primary ide: 0 st380011a- fail code 7"
I decided to reinstall windows but (a tad stupidly), I didn't check first to see where my license key was... you see, it should be on the side of my case, but I swapped that over for an Antec P180. I copied it down onto a piece of paper, but unsurprisingly that piece of paper is nowhere to be found.I've used a code from another Dell machine in the house to get into XP, but obviously that's no use for getting it activated,and I keep being told my copy is not genuine (ie by Windows Update), which is rather irritating considering it clearly is. I was told to chase up Dell about the problem by the windows activation tool, but all of their support is locked down to two options... warranty covered hardware failure, or paid-for support.

I have all previous updates.
I have scanned for viruses and spyware with 2 scanners for each.
When trying to install SP2, it gets exactly halfway then it says access denied.
So I just rebuilt my PC, installed XP Home edition and installed the SP2 upgrade. I also installed some basic programs such as Norton Anti-Virus, Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Windows Defender. Since this is a fresh copy, you would think no problems right? Well, for some reason, this operating system just freezes everytime I'm trying to either install updates and other programs. It even freezes sometimes after its booted into the OS! There's no spyware or viruses, so I'm thinking it has to do with the SP2 install. I'm also dual booting with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, which is running fine with no problems. I'm thinking about uninstalling SP2 if this solves the problem.

But when I went to Amazon it said the OEM was not for a consumer, only system builders.Can anyone explain what problems I might encounter if I installed a OEM version (as funds are very tight - OEM would help out a lot).Or does anyone know of a version of XP that you can buy without the box etc (just the CD), that is for a home user.One other question - will my motherboard except a new version of XP(does it know that I am changing the "Product Key" etc).
