I have a Windows 2000 machine that has become unable to boot, even into safe mode. <br />
<br />
I have taken that drive and made it a slave in another computer. I am able to navigate and retrieve data from the unbootable HDD.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of a free or inexpensive registry tool that can be used to export entries from a Registry file on the slave hard drive and not the actual registry for the second machine?<br />
<br />
Basically, I need to get registry keys exported from a non-bootable machine.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Access Registry file on Non-Bootable Win2k HDD

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
