As the title implies I'm currently having this failure on a colleague's PC.
STOP: C0000218 The registry cannot load the hive ....etc etc.
It's a Dell running Win XP. I can do a restore/rebuild from the 'hidden' partition and it seems to run ok for anything upto a couple of months until the same fault reappears. I have remade the connections to the HD and reseated the ram.
There is plenty of info on the web but all point to a 'terminal' failure whereas this, as pointed out, runs ok for a while.
Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards an impeding hard drive failure but your input would be appreciated.
