The dreaded:
Stop: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate
Three weeks ago my better half had this error and when I used the recovery console to repair it the c:\winnt\repair folder was corrupt so I had to do a complete reinstall!
About 2 hours ago, I just received the same error again. Now once again I need to go into rc and try to fix the problem.
My question: What in the hell could possibly cause this to occur twice in one month? I'm thinking maybe a faulty disk. What do you think?
Thanks in advance.
