Laptop Info Today

I’ve covered the steps in of recovering Windows from a corrupted registry in the previous post and today I will be continuing on the next part of it.

One thing for sure, the Lsass.exe issue is a bit tedious to recover and the easiest bulk of it is to re-format the whole laptop or pc and start your installation of your  programs one by one.

However the recovery console brings you a bit of hope but the process must be carry out with caution ( one slight mistake and that’s it ).

Now let’s continue where I left off.

After you have completed Part 1 , begin by opening your Windows Explorer and follow the steps below ……

• On Tools, click folder options
• Click the View tab
• Under Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files and folders
• Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (Recomended) check box
• Click Yes to confirm
• Proceed to the drive where you store your Winidows XP ( in this case C:\System Volume Information\_restore{certain numbers based on individual machines}\RP1\Snapshot}
• Copy the following files to your C:\Windows\Tmp folder
  • _Registry_User_.Default
  • _Registry_Machine_Security
  • _Registry_Machine_Software
  • _Registry_Machine_System
  • _Registry_Machine_Sam
• In your C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows
  • _Registry_User_.Default TO DEFAULT
  • _Registry_Machine_Security To SECURITY
  • _Registry_Machine_Software TO SOFTWARE
  • _Registry_Machine_System TO SYSTEM
  • _Registry_Machine_Sam TO SAM

This will set a new restore point on your machine and you will recover them from the windows folder.

That’s the end of Part 2 of this series … Part 3 will be out next.
