Tips to rectify “CONFIG LIST FAILED” error message in Windows Vista, XP and 2000
70A STOP error message at the startup of Windows NT based operating systems can be caused due to file system damage, registry corruption, low disk space, reduced memory, virus infections and more. Primary outcomes of a STOP error message are data inaccessibility and unmountable hard drive. Restoration of data from an up-to-date backup is an ideal solution to overcome the hazards of the STOP error message. But, if no updated backup is available or backup falls short to restore the required information, then you will need to use advanced File Recovery that can systematically recover your lost data.
As a practical case, you encounter the below STOP error message when you attempt to boot your computer system:
"STOP:
0x00000073 (0x00000001, 0xc000017d, 0x00000002,
0xfc96fcc0)
CONFIG_LIST_FAILED"
The four parameters in the above error message are explained below:
Parameter 1: is always set to 1
Parameter 2: indicates insufficient disk space or failed allocated pool
Parameter 3: indicates the index of the hive in the hive list
Parameter 4: indicates a pointer to a UNICODE_STRING structure
After the above error message appears on the blue screen, the data stored in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. In addition, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to start your system.
Cause:
The root cause for the occurrence of the above STOP error message is registry issue. However, it is not necessary that the registry might be corrupt.
Resolution:
To resolve the above STOP error message and access the data saved in the hard drive, you will need to take the below actions:
Ø Reduce the hard disk space.
Ø Increase RAM (Random Access Memory).
However, if the same STOP error message appears even after applying the above measures, then the best possible solution is to reinstall Windows operating system. A clean reinstall of Windows will completely erase the data stores on your hard drive partition. To systematically recover all the data after reinstalling Windows, you will need to use advanced File Recovery software. These Partition Recovery applications use high end scanning mechanisms to recover all the lost data after hard drive formatting.
