Guest b11_ Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Assuming one boots partition X, how can one change the partition Y registry then put the Y registry back into partition Y?
Guest John John Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Re: Assuming one boots partition x Are you trying to edit the registry on the dormant installation? Use the load hive feature in Regedit. Don't forget to unload the hive when you are done.

Guest sgopus Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 RE: Assuming one boots partition x Simply edit and save it, since you have not removed it from Y, there is no putting it back.

Your question is unclear. Please elaborate.
Guest b11_ Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Assuming one boots partition x Does one run the regedit on the booted(x) partition or the non-booting(Y) partition? Is it possible to load the entire Y registry, not just a hive? When unloading, How can one be sure that it goes back to the Y partition and not the X partition? ____________________________________________________________ "John John" wrote: > Are you trying to edit the registry on the dormant installation?

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Assuming one boots partition x How could you possibly run REGEDIT from the partition that won't boot? Honestly, do you even *think* about the questions you post before hitting Send? Would make you look a lot less stupid. -- Gary S.

You do as it shows in the link I provided. You boot Windows XP on Partition X and you start Regedit and select the Load Hive feature. When asked which hive you want to load you navigate to the broken installation on Partition Y\Windows\System32\Config and load the desired hive. Using Regedit you can only load hives as shown in the Config folder, other than the ntuser.dat and the volatile hives, the files in the Config folder contain the whole registry. If you need to edit user settings then load the ntuser.dat hive in their respective Profile folders. Be aware that there is no HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet on a dormant installation, instead you look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select key and select the numbered HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetnnn (001,002,003...) that you want to edit. > Is it possible to load the entire Y registry, not just a hive? You cannot load the whole registry with Regedit, if you want to do that use a live cd like Bart's PE disk. > When unloading, How can one be sure that it goes back to the Y partition and > not the X partition? Faith, it will just go to the same place whence it came from. John
