If it's a dual boot system (as opposed to two separate machines) you can just boot into XP (assuming you can do that) and load hive (HKLM and HKCU only) from within regedit.

That's the easy part.

The difficult part would be to know what to change back.

(I assume you've tried Last Good Config.)

@takeshi

how to load win2003 registry from windows XP.

[Takeshi]

In regedit:

highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

File > Load Hive

Navigate to:

system32\config\

and pick your hive.

Don't forget to unload it afterwards.

Hi. I'd want to know how to decrypt encrypted hive files... anyone know the solution?
