Hi guys,
I did a fresh re-install of windows XP on my Dell inspiron Laptop and just now it crashed.
I know my HD is a bit dodgey and might be on it's way out...
When it crashed my laptop did a memory dump and usually when it completes, it should reboot and windwos starts up again.
But this time I had to do a hard reset and this is the message that I got:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOP: c0000218 {registry file failure}
The registry cannot load the hive (file)
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
Beginning Dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put in my windows recovery disk that came with the dell, but when i selected REPAIR, I really didn't know what the **** I should do.
I tried to reboot my laptop several times, but always comes up with the blue screen and the above error message.
Please can you guys help me out? Do you think I need a new laptop? I took my laptop to a couple of shops and they said that because of the way my dell was made, they cannot remove the HD and stick in a new one.
Help please!
