Same here. I get the following error message on the
screen for a split-second and then the machine reboots:

STOP:C0000218{Registry File Failure}:
The registry cannot load the hive(file)
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY
or its log or alternate
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.

Can anyone help?
 
In your situation. I would attempt a repair installation. Boot from install cdrom.
After a few minutes it will ask you if you want to install or repair existing. Select
repair. Then it will ask if you want to do a repair or use recovery console. Select r
for repair and select fast repair when prompted as type of repair. --- Steve
