| You are troubleshooting a Windows 2000 Professional system that is not starting correctly. You suspect that the registry has been corrupted, so you want to check the registry to make sure it is intact. You decide to use an emergency repair disk (ERD) you recently created.
Which method can you use? (Choose one from the following).
A. Use the ERD with the Manual Repair option.
B. Use the ERD with the Fast Repair option.
C. Use the ERD with the Registry Repair option.
D. You cannot use the ERD to check the registry.
Good luck and see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

I think I agree with your first answer.
D
You cannot check or repair registry with ERD.
Nothing in that Microsoft article stated that you could.
Spid's post whacking you over the head seems to suggest he doen't think its D either.
If "B" said: emergency repair process with fast repair option. I would go for that.
ERD is used during an emegency repair process
but not to repair the registry. | |

Maybe you should borrow my glasses.

Fast Repair. This is the easier option to use, and does not require user input. If you choose this option, the Emergency Recovery Process attempts to repair problems related to system files, the boot sector on your system disk, and your startup environment (if your computer has more than one operating system installed). This option also checks and repairs the registry files by loading and unloading each registry key. If a key is not successfully checked, it is automatically copied from the repair directory to the folder %SystemRoot%\System32\Config.

Enforcer,
I read that several times.
It is the Emergency Repair Process with fast repair.
Not
ERD with fast repair.
Don't you see a difference?
It refers to this repair as Emergency Recovery Process and Emergency Repair Process.

| ERD
You can use the ERD for the following repair functions:
* Inspect and repair the startup environment.
* Verify the Windows 2000 system files and replace missing or damaged files.
* Inspect and repair the boot sector.

My understanding is that you start the Emergency Recovery Process by using the ERD which therefore comes under the heading of 'fixing the registry by using the ERD.' | |

| The answer is B - Fast Repair.
Manual Repair doesn't check the registry, there's no such thing as the Registry Repair option and choice "D" is false. | |

The answer I was looking for was.....B
The Fast Repair option checks and repairs the registry files by loading and unloading each registry key. If the inspection of a key is not successful, it is automatically copied from the repair directory to the folder %systemroot%\system32\config. For the Fast Repair option to correctly check the registry, the folder %systemroot%\repair must be accesible. In addition to checking the registry, the emergency repair process attemtps to repair problems related to system files, the boot sector on the system disk, and the startup environment.
"A" - is incorrect because that option does not check the registry files.
"C" - is not a valid option to choose.
"D" - You can use the ERD for this.
I understand why some have chosen "D", it is kind of a play on words. But enforcers point is pretty much where I was coming from as well. I you don't agree that's fine. After re-reading the question a few times after I posted it, I thought it wasn't that great of a question but I decided to let it ride and see what others thought.
Smackin' Forsaken with the stick is fun to do whether he answers the question right or wrong  |
