Re: [XP Pro] Recovery Console?
I have had the problem before where the registry is not readable. I put the hard drive in another computer, renamed the registry files, and then manually copied them from a recent restore point. The computer then booted properly into safe mode, and I did a system restore.

| Yes, you could try to harvest the registry hives from either a Live CD or as a slave drive. This is decidedly non-trivial, but it can work as jaa  discussed above.

After harvesting and moving the registry files, remount the drive (if slaved) and use System Restore.
