    Windows registry broken;any built-in utility to construct a fresh one?

    One of my school library's network's pc was down because of bad
    sector on the disk(i guess) and that's where the registry
    database is located. If registry's broken, windows wont load.
    So I don't want to reformat and reinstall; any way to construct a
    new one using windows built-in utility?

    If there isn't, how about any freewares out there?
    Or any methods? I wish to program one my own.(of course not
    with vb, i could use some QB coupled with ASM or C codes)
    ASM,C,C++,BASIC,VB,JAVA,VBS,HTML,ASP,PHP,mySQL,VB.NET,MATLAB
    Programming is fun, but only if you're not on a tight deadline
    So I consider all those working engineers sad people

    Just out of curiosity, if Windows won't load.... hwo do you plan to run the app?

    I think you're going to need to drop back 10 and punt and re-install Windows.

    I Googled registry repair and came up with this. It's not free but hopefully your school can afford it.
