Disk director stuck in loop

I've managed to get into the registry on my XP machine with a knoppix disk but i can't work out what needs updating, any ideas most welcomed.

Have you read this thread? DD is probably "stuck" on the auto-run files.

If autopart.exe exists you could try deleting it using Knoppix and then see if you can get into Windows (see this post).

Thanks MudCrab

I can see the file in knoppix but can't delete it.

Also I can get into the registry but can't find BootExecute mentioned.

I haven't got an original windows xp cd either.

Failing the above I do have a backup of the C drive partition, could I just overwrite the existing one?

I've managed to get back into windows using last known good configuration.

I've looked at BootExecute in registry and it shows the following,

autocheck autochk /m \??\I: autocheck autochk * Isdelete

Do I need to alter this to autocheck autochk *

Thanks
