T60 Rescue & Recovery - regedit.exe Application Error
Posted: Tue Nov 23, 2010 10:49 am
Hello everyone, I am hoping that someone maybe able to assist with a small problem I have with running a R&R on a T60.
I ran a Disk Wipe (Killdisk) which after completed I tried to install XP Home. I discovered that the wipe had removed partitions and therefore wouldn't let me install. I found that if i changed the BIOS settings to compatible then this would allow install. I do not have the BIOS password so this is not an option. I have the R&R disks however, but when run from selecting CD drive I get the R&R 3 screen then get a Regedit error (twice) which I click ok on. This then loads the R&R menu but when selecting the Restore System option I get nothing but another error which doesn not display correctly.
The error message when first loading the R&R disk says
rededit.exe - Aplication Error
The application failed to initilize properly (0xc0000006). Click on Ok to terminate this application
Now I guess the regedit application is needed to complete the R&R process - HELP!!
The first time I tried this I ran out of battery, foolish I know, and I got to inserting disk 2-6 for the recovery, I since have not been albe to manage getting tp that point as this looked very promising!
I ran Kildisk again before re-trying just incase the Re-Recovery had confused matters. This did not work either...........
If anyone has any idea on how this can be overcome I would be greatly appreciative :0)
