i uninstalled a program which had been in my comp for like 2 years. stupid as i am i decided to delete all its registries using regedit. There i found many folders which i thought belonged to the softwares i had uninstalled long ago and so i started deleting them and when i closed regedit, i didn't recognise my comp. On right clicking i couldn't see many options. i couldn't open any folder or start any software. so i decided to restart my comp. it now just stops on the welcome screen and freezes. is there any way i can make my comp start without reinstalling windows? please help? also if i have to reintall it, how can i retrieve my data on D and E drive cuz i know that c would be deleted. please help?

Hi.U simply have to format ur h.D.D using partition magic.But if u have valuable info or files, u may enter setup program by pushing the DEL button as u switch on ur PC.Then in setup choose ur first boot disk as the CD Drive.Then restart the PC.Insert ur bootable win xp disc.Boot with it and follow the instructions on screen.

You have messed around with the Registry. If you have a backup of the registry, start Windows in Safe Mode (pressing F8 during boot) and double click the backup file to restore the Registry.
If not, then the only way out is reinstalling the OS!!!

Oh my God that sounds serious. Good luck. I can feel your pain because i poke around in my computer where i probably shouldnt as well. Sometimes I wonder what damage I'm doing! I hope you fix it with minimal difficulties. :)
