Registry recovery tool for vista

[muttleymacclad]

Hi all

I've just been given a toshiba laptop running vista. Customer said she had run out of disk space on c and used a partition tool to re-size it from her data partition.

I've just turned it on and get a message in white on black ground just as windows is booting saying, "failed to reset native registry", it then flashes a bsod and then starts all over again.

There are no restore points on the machine, i'm trying start up repair atm but don't hold out much hope.

Apart from Re-installing the whole of vista and all her progs, does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks
mml

Edit:
Scrap that - for once startup repair actually bloody worked! it's a miracle.

LOL she has 9.3mb free on a 40gb drive.

The next step would have been a repair from OS install media but glad to hear startup repair worked.
