This did not work for me, that is, PC still automatically rebooted. One
thing NOT clear is the following line...

"then under tempname, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select..."

When I loaded the hive, I called it winnthive, and I see it in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine window. However, I don't see the
\SYSTEM tree in there at all..

Key Name box give it some temp name, then under tempname, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
and look in the Reg_Dword value of "Current", this is the current
controlset, then navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Control\CrashControl
Where x = the value of "Current" (found above) and set the values as follows

"AutoReboot"=dword:00000000
"CrashDumpEnabled"=dword:00000001
"LogEvent"=dword:00000001
"Overwrite"=dword:00000001
Then navigate back up to "tempname" and choose Unload Hive, and boot your
original install, Autoreboot is now turned off so you should be able to read
the stop error.

If nothing else you can at least recover your data from the parallel install
prior to rebuilding the operating system.
