Product Overview
You can review and change local registry parameters after loading a registry hive from any partition that is detected by Active@ Boot Disk utilities. If your computer cannot complete a boot-up and if the boot failure is related to registry parameters of a driver or another bootable configuration, you may be able to fix it by changing registry parameters using Registry Editor.
To use Registry Editor:
- From the Active@ Boot Disk shell, click Start > Utilities > Registry Editor. The Registry Editor workspace appears.
- In the registry hierarchy list, choose either HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_USERS hive.
- From the File menu, choose Load Hive… The Load Hive dialog box appears.
- Browse to a primary logical drive (for example, C:) and navigate to Windows\System32\config. The contents of the config folder appears.
- Choose a registry hive. For example,
choose one of:
- SYTEM
- COMPONENTS
- SOFTWARE
- Click Open. The Load Hive dialog box appears.
- In Key Name, type a custom name for the hive that you are loading. For example: MY_SOFTWARE_HIVE.
- Click OK. The new hive appears in the registry hierarchy under the root level that you selected in Step 2.
- Open the loaded hive and view and edit registry values, create new entries and keys or delete values and keys.
- After you have completed all the changes in the loaded hive, close Registry Editor. All changes are written to the registry hive that was attached.
- Exit Active@ Boot Disk and restart the computer.
