I had to reply because System Restore won't be able to help you if the
system is unbootable even in Safe Mode due to registry corruption. e.g.
the
SYSTEM registry hive file is corrupted.

The sure way to restore the registry is by booting into the Recovery
Console
(if you've already installed it), or a separate Windows installation (e.g.
Windows PE). Then restore the registry files from that system. If the
files
are backupped using System Restore, copy the files from one of the
subfolder
in "C:\System Volume Information" folder, into
"C:\Windows\System32\Config"
folder. Otherwise, use your registry backup+restore tool (e.g. ERUNT,
etc.).


Well Hell Thats Ture
I'll Followup too Xp
Thank's JJ
