6. Open the hive and name it something obvious (e.g.
"clientSoftware").
7. You can now edit the contents of the registry keys within the
new hive directory normally, as they are now part of the host
machine's registry.
8. When finished, select the hive again, and use the
Registry|Unload Hive menu item to write the hive back to the
client machine.
8.2 Checklist for Common Problems
If you have trouble making a connection between a host and a client, check
the following list for common problems. If you still cannot make a connection,
please contact our Technical Support for additional assistance.
♦= Is the serial cable a null-modem cable and is it properly connected to
both machines?
♦= Have you correctly identified and entered the serial ports on the host
and the client?
♦= Do the baud rates you entered on the host and the client match?
♦= Have you tried lowering the baud rate and trying again?
♦= Have you verified that you can make a connection with the terminal or
hyperterminal applet between the host and another computer, using
the same communications parameters set for NTRecover?
♦= Have you verified that the host communications port you selected is
an actual NT logical port by opening the Ports applet in the NT control
panel?
♦= Did you check the event log to see if the Serial device driver
encountered any errors during its initialization that may have
prevented the logical ports from being created?
