I was trying to install a Bluetooth dongle driver using an installer from Belkin's website on my Windows XP Embedded machine (a Wyse thin client) and after restarting, I get a BSOD:
STOP: c0000021a (Fatal System Error)
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000139 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
Attempting to boot with last known good configuration gets:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD ROM.
Select ‘r’ at the first screen to start repair.
Attempting to boot into safe mode gets:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78FF528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Can this be reversed? I don't know what files the installer changed. There were a lot of files in the installer's folder.
If I can't rescue this installation, can I find the Windows installation key by booting from a USB flash drive? Although there is a sticker on the case with a code on it, it doesn't seem like the usual 25 character code I'd expect to see.
I can get to a command prompt if I boot from a Windows XP Embedded installation disk 1 image I put onto a USB flash drive.
