STOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure} - HYPER V VIRTUAL MACHINE
Hi Experts,
STOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure}
is preventing my server from starting. It is a 2003 HyperV Virtual Machine.
Any suggestions to fix ? Obviously It cant be a hard drive issue as its a VM and other VM's are functioning correctly. the 2008 server running the VM's is working fine.
I can mount the VM with another program and access the VHD and read and write to it.
I have not tried a chkdsk /r at this stage, would like to find root of issue if possible.

Its a Virtual Machine. There is No Hard Disk to repair.
Have tried to copy the config folder from other working virtual machines to this virtual machine and it changes the error code to 0x00000024

Sorry I was unable to help. I hope you find the correct answer.
Is the VHD used with this VM, also associated with some other VM?
