Hi everyone. 2 days ago I started my laptop. The battery was very low and it shut down while windows was starting. I restarted the laptop and I had to select 'start windows normally'. The next screen says :
---------------------------------------
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
File: \Windows\System32\config\system
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt.
---------------------------------------
- I cannot boot Windows in any mode (safe or last known configuration).
- I tried to format and reinstall windows vista through the integrated reinstallation program pressing escape when the computed starts. It doesnt start and keep saying the same message).
- I tried to format and install Windows XP (as I dont have any copy of the Vista DVD) instead. It prepares the setup and finally says that there is no HDD connected to my laptop.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks!
