c0000218 hive error - maybe a special case?

Hi-
I've got the blue screen 218 error, but this might be a special case so
I wanted to describe and ask if there are any easier solutions than
those posed in previous posts.
I was performing a file search, and I decided to cancel it, but the
windows explorer went to "not responding" and i couldn't quit the
process, and then it hung the whole computer and I was forced to do a
hard reset. That's when I got the registry error. So I'm guessing
it's a corrupt registry file as opposed to a disk problem.
The difference here is that I've got a second bootable drive in my
machine, which I'm hoping might give me more options.
Some details:
I can't do safe mode.
I can't do "last good configuration".
But the second drive boots fine, and I can see all the files on the
main drive.
Is there any way I might be able to fix this problem *without* ending
up in a situation where I'll need to reinstall all my software on the
main boot drive?
FYI, I installed my operating system myself, since this was a
home-assembled computer. And though the second drive is bootable, it
doesn't have all my software on it, so I can't just blow away the first
drive and start over.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Post, or email me at rsilverst-at-gmail-dot-com.
