This registry cannot load the hive (file):

it is corrupt ,absent,or not writeable.

beginning dump of physical memory

Let's see. Steve has 23,235 posts on DellTalk. Dell hires people in India to answer questions. Who might know what they are talking about?

There is no "restore program" on the XP CD, which goes to show you what the reps know. Steve is suggesting that IF the first suggestion doesn't work (i.e. you try it), that using the Recovery Console with the XP CD should.
