Hi,
My question is :
Can CCleaner be used to check/fix the registry of a 2nd hardrive (not the primary drive on which the OS is running).
I know this is a long shot - but I thought I'd check it out just in case!
I have a PC which starts to log into Windows XP (completes the normal boot process) and then gives the blue screen - with a REGISTRY_ERROR
No new hardware installed - so my guess is some software update or a hardware failure e.g. RAM.
Starting from Known Good Config doesn't work - and neither does SAFE MODE.
So I added the drive as a 2nd hard drive on a working PC - so that I could run chkdsk to check and fix any drive errors.
Disk was regularly defragged - so don't think any issue with that.
That chkdsk report some errors - and fixes - but I still get the same error when using the drive as a primary drive i.e. loading windows.
What I was wondering is it possible to run CCleaner on a 2nd hardrive (not the primary windows drive)?
I know that there are options with CCleaner to clean files on the 2nd hardrive - but I can't see anything in terms of the registry.
My assumption is that the registry is only visible when CCleaner is active on the drive from which the OS is loaded - but I though I would ask in case it help to fix the problem.
Sorry for the wordy post - just trying to cover everything.
Thanks
Neil
