I was working on the registry in Windows Server 2003 and when I tried to reboot, I couldn't get back into Windows normally or through safe mode. I have figured out what I did, but I can't seem to find a way to edit the registry manually to fix my error. I can't run REG.EXE from the recovery console because it only accepts commands from the HELP menu. I have also tried to access it through NTFSDOS Pro, but REG.EXE and REGEDIT.EXE both told me "Cannot Be Used in DOS Mode" I am getting desperate, it took me two weeks to get the new system up with all of our software and running and if I can't get it online soon, I will probably be out of a job. Any help that is provided is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mike

The easiest way is to remove the HDD and install it in another server as a slave drive. Download resplendant registrar from <a target="_blank" href=http://www.resplendence.com>www.resplendence.com</a>

Go to file, open for editing and then navigate to the registry hive on the slave drive and edit it. The registry hives are stored in %systemroot%\system32\config and you will probably be looking for the system or software hive.
