Solve : XP embedded versus normal XP??

Answer»

Is the registry load the hive (file):
\systemroot\system32\config\software
the same in XP Professional as in XP embedded ?
I doubt they're the same...what is it you are attempting to do ? ?THANKS for the reply.
The PC not is booting to Windows and it has a Windows XP Embedded license label.
I get a message hive load file faulty with the specification as shown previously.
I have a Windows XP Professional copy of the file and was thinking of loading that to fix.
Better to try to find an installation DISK of XP Embedded ?

Better to try to find an installation disk of XP Embedded ?

Easier said than done...
You could try running sfc /SCANNOW from a command prompt...and use the XP CD at the prompt when it asks for it...50/50 chance.Boot to the XP CD and select R (Recovery Console)

At the command prompt type:

ren c:\windows\system32\config\software software.old
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config

Reboot


NOTE: All software INSTALLED since the hive was backed up will have to be reinstalled (probably the time the OS was installed).Cool thanks.
I got the system up and running !Good to hear
