“Stop 0xc0000218 (0xe11a30e8, 0x00000000, 0x000000000,0x00000000) UNKNOWN_HARD_ERROR”

The error message statement may differ:

“Stop: 0xc0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SYSTEM or its log or alternate.

It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.”

The specified error message signifies that the system is facing issues in loading one of the important registry hive file as it is either missing or corrupt.

• Windows registry is something which is required by Windows operating system to be operational and healthy. This is a directory which possesses all the settings, options and information about hardware, software, users’ settings and Windows itself. Any error in registry implies the reinstallation of Windows and hence data recovery needs. • Windows hive files are the registry parts. Registry is split into various logical sections which contain keys, sub keys, values of registry and also the support files which have the backup of its data.

The reason why registry files corrupt could be hard drive corruption (most probably due to logical or physical bad sectors), other hardware issues or parity error in memory of registry.

• To check hard drive corruption, you can run chkdsk/p which completely checks and repairs disk corruption without taking bad sectors into account. However, if the hard disk is suffering from logical bad sectors, format it and restore data from backup, whereas in physical bad sectors case, no data recovery is possible. Such sectors need to be relocated with low-level format.

• If some other hardware is causing problems such as motherboard

• The memory where the registry is being loaded may possess a parity error. So, you should turn off the external cache and check the memory chips.

The drivers actually working as software that runs your graphics card. Being up to date with latest drivers will help you to solve issues that may arise with modern PC games. One of my friends has updated his driver recently to fix a problem for his new game.

After downloading driver make sure you create a restore point using the utility System Restore. This can be done by Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools and then System Restore. Then follow appear instructions to create the restore point. This is just for sure that if a problem occurs after you installed the new drivers, you can return to the restore point to see if the problem is the drivers you installed.

Now you need to install your drivers. This can be done by double clicking on the file that you have downloaded and then you follow appear instructions. Then don’t forget to restart Windows so the changes can show results. How can I forget that be sure you have the latest version of DirectX. It is easily available on internet.

I hope everything is going according to plan you should see an increase in performance in your games and you have no need to go back to restore point. But if unfortunately you do have problems, then don’t take any tension just use your restore point to go back and fix the problems. If the problem continues, then contact your graphics card provider.

The good news is that it probably doesn’t matter. First, the recovery discs provided by most PC manufacturers are designed for a single purpose: to restore your computer to the state it was in when you bought it. This process typically involves wiping your hard drive clean and then reinstalling Microsoft Windows and the handful of programs originally included with your PC. Unless you’re preparing the whole kit and caboodle to sell on eBay, this is probably not something you’ll ever need.

Second, the hardware drivers on your recovery CD are probably out of date, either made obsolete by newer and better versions available online, or simply irrelevant because of new hardware you’ve installed. So, instead of fretting about the old recovery CD, why not take a few minutes and make one of your own?

Ideally, a recovery disc should act as a safety net should anything disagreeable (hard drive crash, virus, spyware attack, driver corruption, etc.) happen to your hard drive or its data. A good recovery disc will let you reinstall Windows or a required driver to fix a minor problem, or restore all your backed-up data if need be.

To prepare a recovery CD, you’ll need: (1) an original Windows XP CD, (2) a valid Windows product key, (3) a collection of your most essential hardware drivers, and (4) a copy of your backup software so you can access your archived data.

The first ingredient, the Windows XP CD, may prove the most troublesome, simply because many manufacturers omit it in lieu of some sort of customized "express install" recovery disc. If Windows came preinstalled on your PC but the manufacturer didn’t provide a full Windows XP CD, contact the company and ask for one (you did pay for it, after all). In most cases, you’ll get one for free, no questions asked.

But you’re not out of the woods yet. Now that Service Pack 2 is out and has been force-fed to most of the Windows XP machines on the planet, your pre-SP2 Windows XP disc may not do what you need it to. (This next step isn’t necessary if you already have an SP2 installation CD.)

Here’s the problem: Once you upgrade to SP2, you won’t ever be able to install the original version of Windows XP over it; you have thus rendered the ancient practice of reinstalling the operating system impossible.

The solution is to create a new hybrid installation CD from your original Windows XP CD and a special version of SP2, a process known as slipstreaming.

To create a slipstreamed Windows XP-SP2 CD, first create a new folder called "xp" in the root folder of your hard drive. (You’ll need about a gigabyte of free space.) Insert your original Windows XP CD, start Windows Explorer, and then navigate to your CD drive (usually D:\). Highlight everything in the root folder of the CD and copy it all to the C:\xp folder you just created.

Next, go to Microsoft’s Web site and search for the "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers." Download the 272MB file, WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2 -ENU.exe, and save it to a new folder on your hard drive, C:\sp2.

Open a Command Prompt window (Start | All Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt), and then type this command at the prompt:

c:\sp2\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU /integrate:c:\xp

If all goes well, the process should take a minute or two and then conclude with a simple completed message box. (If it doesn’t work, then your copy of Windows XP can’t be slipstreamed.)Like it or not, you’ll need a valid product key to reinstall Windows XP or install any Microsoft service pack down the road. Without it, your recovery disc will be naught but a coaster for the cup of coffee you’re likely to need.

 You can find the 25-digit product key on the hologram-laden certificate of authenticity, on the Windows XP CD sleeve, or on the Microsoft sticker on your PC. If you can’t locate your key, you can get one from your PC manufacturer or directly from Microsoft (provided that you can prove you own a valid Windows license).

Once you have the product key in hand, write it directly on the original Windows XP CD with a soft marker pen (and also on the CD-R you’re creating here) so you won’t have to scramble for it in a pinch.

If you want, you can set up what Microsoft calls an "answer file" to enter your product key automatically so you don’t have to type it in later on. On your original Windows XP CD

(Professional Edition only), navigate to the \Support\Tools folder, double-click on

DEPLOY.CAB, and then double-click on Setupmgr.exe to open the Windows Setup Manager wizard.

When prompted, choose Create a new answer file and then Windows Unattended Installation. For the User Interaction Level, choose Provide defaults; when asked about the Distribution Folder, answer No. Finally, you’ll see a new window, into which you can specify defaults; select Providing the Product Key on the left, type your product key in the text fields on the right, and then save the unattend.txt file into your C:\xp folder. For more information, open the setupmgr.chm file, also found in DEPLOY.CAB.
