DESPERATE for Help - Computer crash
My system has crashed. Here's the background:
I've been trying to remove malware for the last few days. Had run various scans, etc. Have been waiting on someone to help me with a HiJack This Log.
And then last night, this: an auto update of wp service pack 3. Install stopped halfway and I got error message: access denied. It then un-installed.
This morning, I got only the following message (and same message when I tried safe mode):
STOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure} System can't load hive (file:
\systemroot\system32\config\software
or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent or not writable.
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete
Contact system admin... etc.
I do have the windows CD. I also have a full back-up image (Acronis and Maxtor HD) from 2 weeks ago.
I need to know how to proceed from here. I don't want to risk losing the information that I have on the back-up image. I'm not sure if the system is clean enough to start a re-install.
Should I re-install windows and then work on restoring with acronis?
Please -- any help, links, suggestions you can give me would be so much appreciated.
Thank you.
