- Posted by Dave Kalidason on March 3rd, 2004
i can't startup ME, including in Safe Mode. When i try
Step-By-Step Confirmation, it claims, "REGISTRY FILE WAS
NOT FOUND. XMS CACHE PROBLEM. REGISTRY SERVICES MAY BE
INOPERATIVE THIS SESSION." I believe i can solve this
problem by restarting my computer with the STARTUP DISK in
the floppy disk drive.
**But here is my problem! I did not make a copy of STARTUP
DISK in a floppy disk. But, can i overcome this problem by
making a copy of this STRTUP DISK from my friend's
computer, and then use this floppy to restart my PC. I'm
new to WINDOWS, and i hope someone could help me get my PC
working again. All help is appreciated, please advice.

Dave,
You should try
A registry repair:
Bootup with a startup floppy disk and at the A:\> prompt type
scanreg /fix (space between g and /)
Press enter, wait for the process to finish and reboot WITHOUT the disk.
If that doesn't work, try a registry restore:
Bootup with a startup floppy disk and at the A:\> prompt type
scanreg /restore (space between g and /)
Press enter, select a date PRIOR to the problem, press enter, wait for the process to finish and reboot WITHOUT the disk.
If you don't have a startup disk, download one from www.bootdisk.com.
Any luck?
