<<< I am getting the following message when booting, any help on a resolution:
Error Message receiving:
STOP: C000018 (Registry File Failure)
The Registry cannot load the hive (file):
\Systemroot\System32\Config\software
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable. >>>
If your operating system is win 2000 (pro) or win xp (pro)the following microsoft knowledge base article may help somewhat, though I am not sure there is a specific fix in the article for the specific error msg you are getting.
