Start up registry error

I've been experienceing an error message intermittantly when booting up.
The error displays at the welcome screen, but it only happens occasionally
(two or three times a week). It says:

One of the files containing the system's registrydata had to be recovered by
use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.

Thinking it might be a disk problem, I completely repartisioned and
reformated all of my drives and reinstalled windows xp professional and all
my data. The problem is still occurring.

Any ideas what I can check or how to narrow this down. I have run check
disk on each of my drives with no errors found. I thought it might be
memory, but I'm not having any program crashes. I do occasionally get a
corrupted file.

I'm running:
AMD Athlon 2400+, 512 Mb Ram, two physical hard drives, one with two
partitions (one for programs and the other for data) and the second hard
drive has my page file and some backup files. Windows XP Professional xp1
with all updates installed.

Thanks for any help.

Me too. I posted a message on Jan, 5, just saying the same: I am receiving this message from time to time, almost all times I reboot (or hibernate) the computer (win XP Pro):

Application popup: Windows - Registry Recovery : One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.
After that, I reboot again and all seems to be fine.

Can someone help me to fix the problem?

I too have been receiving this message and find none of the responses to date to be useful. This began happening to me after I did a fresh install on a newly built machine, and only after I installed all of the XP updates. To me it smells like a bug in one of the recent updates. Any 'real' help would be great.
