I have an old laptop running Windows 2000. I recently found a virus on the machine
and cleaned it. After cleaning it and rebooting it was stuck in the login loop (even
in Safe Mode). I attempted to boot from the Windows 2000 CD but receive a BSOD with
an Inaccessible Boot Device Error (Code 0x0000007B). The laptop doesn't have an internal
CD Drive so I'm booting from a USB CD Rom which I believe is causing the problem.
The laptop also doesn't have a Floppy drive and I don't have one I can use either.
Can anyone help with the login loop issue or the BSOD? I assume I can repair using
the Win 2000 CD recover console if I can just get into it.
Also does anyone know of anyway to get into the registry without getting into windows?
The laptop also isn't on network so I can't do it from another machine. The HD is
also difficult to get to without taking apart the whole machine so that's not an
option.
Any assistance would be great.
Thanks
