'Read-only file system' error when changing registry
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 11:30 am
Hi,
I've been trying to change a registry key in Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon.
I'm changing Userinit to userinit.exe using ed Userinit. This works fine.
But when I come to save the changes, I get the message: "cpnt: /disk/WINDOWS/system32/config/software: Read-only file system" and the change isn't saved.
I'm using Windows XP, trying to undo a load of problems caused by a virus / spyware / something malicious.
Any help much appreciated!
Cheers,
G
