Hello, Someone I know moved his dual-boot system to a new disk and now has problems logging in to the Windows partition.
Setup: 1. Fedora Croe 3 2. Windows 2000 (Server?) on an NTFS partition Both on the same disk. Another disk is used for data. The windows partition was copied by creating a partition with at least the same amount of sectors on the new disk then dd'ing the partition. We also made sure that the partition number is the same as on the old disk. Windows boot fine, but after a user name and password are entered it just pops back into login screen. Microsoft's site explains exactly how to fix this, except that they assume access from a windows machine (e.g. over the net). Apparently it's something to do with hash strings of the drive identification inside the registry. We found a tool to edit the registry file on NTFS from Linux but it seems to be geared only towards reseting passwords, not about updating strings in the registry in general. Does anyone know of a way to edit the Windows registry from Linux? (I'd supply the links we found but don't have them handy right now).
