Pulling Registry settings, post-crash

Topic

New Reply

I have quite a challenge. My WinXP installation developed severe corruption and died, before I could back up some Registry settings. The drive is still readable, but Windows won’t start, no way, no how. I have the five files that make up the Registry — is there any way to read Outlook Express account information from them?

I tried placing them into position in another WinTel box and the system did boot, but the system was confused about many things, and the Internet Accounts Manager section of CURRENT_USER did not appear.

Grateful for any ideas…

You aren’t going to get that kind of information from the Registry but you don’t have to have windows running to extract the Outlook Express files (provided they did not get corrupted) and move and substitute them in a working system. Hooking that system drive up to another system or using a Linux boot disc with a windows file explorer utility will allow you to go to the most likely place to find the .dbx files (or just search for *.dbx) in the Documents and Settings>user name>Local Settings>Application Data>Identities>(weird alpha-numeric filename)>Microsoft>Outlook Express folder.

If you find them, then on a working system you would run a new instance of OE (in a new user profile if needed) to create that default location and then displace the files in that pathway directory with those you recovered.

Thank you, Byron — However, I do not believe that login settings are stored within the .dbx files (which I have recovered). My understanding is that login information is stored at

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet Account Manager

If I am wrong, then this becomes easy: Use the recovered .dbx files. For the sake of this discussion, let’s say that I am correct. The task, therefore, is to recover the information at that Registry key from a computer that will no longer boot into Windows.

That is precisely what I am trying to retrieve. Now, how could one get it from the five files living in WindowsSystem32Config that make up the Registry? That is my promised land…

I guess I’m a little confused as to just what you are trying to do.

The screenshot I posted has the actual settings of those keys to the right of the columns shown.
WindowsSystem32Config are folders within Windows itself, not the registry.

Your screenshot was taken within Windows. Were I able to start Windows, my quest would be over; however, this entire issue is caused by a corrupted version of the OS that makes entry into Windows impossible. The five files I cite in that Windows subfolder are the ones that actually comprise the Registry and on this system, that is as close as I’ll get to it.

Have you tried making copies and then opening them up in a text editor? That may have been possible in Win4 (IIRC), but whether that is still the case with Win 5.1 is another matter. HTH

Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD4WIN) has a registry editor that can read registry files from the installed hard drive. Look on the site I referenced for further details.
