    Hello,

    Today i made some changes in the registry of the server 2008 R2 machine.
    Now when i rebooted the server i didnt start and hung on black screen with the arrow pointer.
    I tried running the sfc /scannow with the DVD repair but it told me repair pending please complete it.
    Not able to run it in safe mode.
    Any idea how can i redo that registry change or just restore the registry to original??

    Thank you

    Or any WinPE based media will work for that

    @sebus, is it?

    I know using DaRT ERD Registry Editor, you open the target machine registry, using any WinPE based media will open the WinPE registry, not the target machine registry
