After some file corruption, I had to run chkdsk. There were a few unreadable sectors and I seemed to have lost the entire registry.
I cannot boot into any windows mode. When loading windows in any mode it gets as far as the loading screen, then I get:
STOP: c000021a (fatal system error)
The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
Also, for some reason windows installation cd does not recognize that there is a HDD present.
After much searching, I believe this is caused because the registry files (and possibly others) were in one of the unreadable sectors.
I put the drive into another computer (as non boot). I can access the files on the disk and cannot find ANY registry entries.
I have run ccleaner and have the backup registry entries.
Is there a way to restore the registry on the disk while it is hooked up to another computer.
Please remember I cannot get into any mode of windows and I cannot get into windows recovery
