How to get into C: drive when Xp doesn't start?

Hello,
after a few months of excellent performance from my Satellite M40X laptop I started to get "blue screens of death" what eventually led to complite crash - all I get is message (again on blue screen ;)) that:
#STOP: c0000218 {registry file failure}
The registry cannot load the hive \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping physical memory to disk: __%
I read about that problem and I know I can do nothing about it having only OEM copy of WinXp (bootable recovery disc, which when entered gives me no access to C: drive from command line). My question is thuoght, if is it possible to get somehow into my hard drive and safe a few files before formatting it? I have desktop computer with Xp and network cable. Is it possible to install memory stick or USB flash memory stick from DOS so I could copy the files onto them?
Thanks in advance for any hints
Misia

Hi Misia, you can access C drive but this will require using a bootable OS BartPE or a Linux Live CD like Knoppix which both offer NTFS access and LAN connection. If you have a floppy drive then try datapol's bootable NTFS disk - http://www.datapol.de/dpe/freeware/ The other option is to boot a WinXP CD and run the recovery console mode. As for fixing the registry problem this is possible but will require copying files from various folders. You have two options either use the keys stored in c:\windows\repair or better still use the backup copy of the registry keys from the system restore folder. There is a website which explains this procedure in more detail - http://www.digitalwebcast.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=8658-1

    vapin,
    Search for online training institutes on the net. Each of these gives a demo. By attending the demo make a selection of the institute.
    On Youtube too, there are lots of SD training videos. Check those.
    TW
    Added: A good trainer will have the following:
    1 - give business examples, to explain functionalities
    e.g. intercompany sale process: the process from his experience, what are the key benefits to business etc.
    IMP: Functional consultant is first about understanding the business process and second about configuration etc. in SAP
    2 - patience
    he should not be reluctant to answer your questions properly
    he should sense how you are understanding the concepts, and take necessary actions
    3 - mentor
    what should be your next steps - how to prepare SD, how to prepare your resume, how to prepare for interviews etc. etc.

    How can i get into my ipad when i forgot my password?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

    hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

    First, I want to clear up some vocabulary issues. After Effects is not intended for editing video. Editing involves cutting shots together to tell a story. Premiere Pro edits video. While you technically can cut video together in AE, Premiere is much, much better for that.
    After Effects is used for creating shots - visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, animation, color correction, color grading, etc.
    What exact version number of AE (down to the decimal points) are you using? Plus the questions Todd asked, plus the info in the link he gave.
    Also, if you're new to AE, you should really start here. This resource will give you a foundation in how to actually use After Effects that will probably clear up your current problem and prevent much more frustration in the future.

  • How do you get into your iphone when it is closed

    My iphone has been locked or something. Can you tell me how to get into it. In it, it says phone dissbled connect to itunes i have tried to go on itunes and have tried to find the solution but it is impossible to get in. If you have any idea what this means please write back and please tell me the solution.

    If it's disabled because you entered the wrong password too many times, you'll need to back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  If you can't do that, see the other option listed at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Alter a BAPI Result Table, how to get into the display "loop" ?

    Hello all,
    i have a problem regarding the result rows of a RFC/BAPI Call.
    There are three views, let's say 1,2,3. In View 1, i call a BAPI, and display the results in a table in View 2. I added a button in each row, which calls View 3 and displays some details concerning the selected row.
    I now want to store a flag for each row, that has been displayed in this way.
    In View 3 i store the key value of the displayed row in an own value node in the context.
    When i go back from View 3 to View 2, i want to see that flag (in an extra column) in every row, that has been selected in this session.
    So i do not know, how to alter a single row in the BAPI result table, how to get into the "loop" that is used by WD to display the table.
    already tried a supply function, but i was not able to alter single rows.
    Any suggestions/tips or perhaps code fragments of working supply functions ?
    Thank you !

    Hello,
    I'm not sure whether I understood your problem correctly, but I will try to give an answer.
    The easiest way I see is to copy the RFC Results to a Component Controller Context structure with an additional Flag field. You can use WDCopyService for copying.
    Then on the event of selecting you set your flag as appropriate for you (e.g. if you want to use an image as flag you set the Image path) on the current element of your table. Then display View 3.
    On going back View 2 should show now the new flag values...
    The trick is to copy the values (as at Time structures can not be expandend with new fields) and set the Flag on the onSelect event.
    Hope this helps,
    Frank

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    Otherwise read this
    If that doesn’t work  you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:

  • How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

    How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
    Hi,
    I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
    but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
    ( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
    my dbms is
    NLS_CHARACTERSET          = WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     = AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     = 10.2.0.1.0
    I do generate it in this matter :
    declare
    xmldoc CLOB;
    ctx number ;
    utl_file.file_type;
    begin
    -- generate fom xml-view :
    ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
    DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
    DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
    DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
    -- create xml-file:
    xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
    -- put data to host-file:
    vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
    DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
    bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
    UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
    UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
    end ;
    maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
    How can this solved ?
    Thank you

    Marco,
    I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
    that works good,
    but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
    in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
    but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
    it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
    my dbms is
    NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0
    -- test:
    create table nh_test ( s0 number, s1 varchar2(20) ) ;
    insert into nh_test (select 1,'hallo' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 2,'straße' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 3,'mäckie' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 4,'euro_€' from dual );
    commit;
    select * from nh_test ;
    S0     S1
    1     hallo
    1     hallo
    2     straße
    3     mäckie
    4     euro_€
    declare
    rc sys_refcursor;
    begin
    open rc FOR SELECT * FROM ( SELECT s0,s1 from nh_test );
    dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file( xmltype( rc ).getclobval( ) , 'XML_EXPORT_DIR','my_xml_file.xml');
    end;
    ( its the same when using output with DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE )
    open in xmlSpy is:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
    <S0>1</S0>
    <S1>hallo</S1>
