General Computer Support / Re: System Restore or Registry Backup Restore?

A damaged registry will not only prevent a system from booting but also has a good chance for Startup Repair to fail to find a Windows installation to use system restore on. System restore is the preferred option, but a registry backup can bring an unbootable system back to life. (Had a system once where the SYSTEM registry key was missing 90% of its entries, unfortunately no registry backups so a Windows reinstall was in order)
