    Hi Dave,

    I wanted to say a "big thank you" to you for the posting and for giving me the confidence to have a go.

    I wanted to let you, and anybody else who reads this thread, know that I've been successful in getting my laptop up and running albeit that I no longer have access to any of the software programs that I've installed.

    This is what I did....

    There seemed to be a slight discrepancy between your method of getting into the Recovery Console and that contained in KB article 229716. I followed the method in the KB article.

    However I then returned to your previous posting.

     - I was able to rename %windir%\system32\config\software to software.old.
     - I then tried to copy %windir%\repair\regback to %windir%\system32\config\software but received the error message "the system cannot find the specified file. (I tried to find the file using the dir command and confirmed that it is not there).
     - Not to be put off I followed your last suggestion and was able to copy %windir%\repair\software to %windir%\system32\config\software.

    I then rebooted the machine and it started up in Windows. Although I had lost all of the software that had been installed I have been able to move off of the machine the contents of the "My documents" folder.

    The only other file I am aware I need to move off the machine is the *.pst file for Outlook 2003. This is called archive.pst. Are there any other files involved? I need to get the last e-mails received before my laptop crashed and also access to my Calender.

    Are there any other files in perhaps the "Program Files" folders or other that I need to move before I format and re-install?

    Regards,

    Phil
