@SlmJon
Found it. I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with a Dell computer. They are different from other computers.
Here is the website:

Use the F2 key and change the sequence. Maybe you should try to disable the hdd from the sequence as long as we are trying to fix the computer. The first boot device should be the CD/DVD drive.

Below the large NTFS for DOS
the first command is: A:\>
I tried typing in
cd c:\Winnt\system32\config SPACE
rename software software.bak SPACE
copy c:\Winnt\repair\software software ENTER
I got a Syntax error
Shut down Pc and got back on to the NTFS for DOS aftering answering yes to their ?
This is what i'm geting
A:\>

I typed in cd space c:\Winnt\system32\config enter
Received
CHDIR failed for c:\Winnt\system32\config
Should i be getting A:\>

@rvnmaniac
Yes, the syntax is not correct.
(enter)Code:cd c:\Winnt\system32\config
(enter)Code:rename software software.bak
(enter)Code:copy c:\Winnt\repair\software software
You have to hit the Enter key after each command line.
Apart from that you should follow my post for you:
Don't forget to hit "enter" after each line.@rvnmaniac

Method 4:
This Method can be used in conjunction with Method 2 to restore login. The main issue with Method 2 is that it does not work if the NTFS file system is flagged as "dirty". Method 4 will remove this:
This option is valid for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP, only paths differ on both systems.
Requirements:
* NTFS capable boot disk like NTFS4Dos
* Offline Rcovery tool from Method 2
* both tools can be found on the Ultimate Boot CD: Filesystem tools - NTFS Tools
Overview of steps:
1. Start NTFS4Dos
2. Copy and Backup of Software registry key (note: it is possible to end here)
3. reboot and shut down properly
4. restore latest Software registry key
5. reboot directly to bootcd and apply method 2
Detailed description:
1. Start NTFS4Dos
If you start NTFS4Dos from the Ultimate BootCD (~115 MB download will require CD) you will find it in Filesystem Tools - NTFS Tools
Once started you will be required to enter "yes" to confirm that you use it for personal use only.
NTFS4Dos is owned by Avira and can also be downloaded from Aviras (~1.2 MB download, will require floppy disk)website.
2. Copy and Backup of Software registry key
What you need to do here is to backup the current software registry key and copy the backup software registry key.
Enter the lines in code according to your OS.
Just follow the above steps and then we have to change something because you already have made the backups.
Windows XP:
Code:
cd c:\Winnt\system32\config (enter)
copy c:\Windows\repair\software software (enter)
copy c:\Windows\repair\default default (enter)
copy c:\Windows\repair\sam sam (enter)
copy c:\Windows\repair\system system (enter)
copy c:\Windows\repair\software software (enter)
copy c:\Windows\repair\security security (enter)
The above commands should copy the default registry from the day you have installed your Windows in the current registry. After that you should be able to boot in Windows safe mode again. From there you can either use the Windows restore point feature or proceed with editing the damage registry manually. If you want to use the second way then please tell me so that I can guide you if you like.
OK, I've changed the boot order and disabled the HDD.
guess why there isnt a link to download Hirens Bootcd on that page.
it is WAREZ

Can you boot with the CD now like rvnmaniac? The download seems to be OK. Please follow the instruction I have given to you because rvnmaniac need to do something. I cannot move the threat so that we don't mix it up. Can one of you please open a new threat like "SlmJon/winlogon".
I will to SlmJon/winlogon
this is a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with XP Media Center Edition with Update Rollup 2, which i desperately need to get back in working condition......
OKAY after:
A:\>cd c:\Winnt\system32\config ENTER
With the only space being between cd and c:
i got the "CHDIR failed for c:\Winnt\systems32\config
Boy oh Boy
I also changed the Winnt to Windows with the same "CHDIR failed for c:\Windows\systems32\config"
I also tried putting a space between A:\> and cd with no change
