Where is the 'enum' entry in the System32\Config folder?

This is a discussion about Where is the 'enum' entry in the System32\Config folder? in the Windows Software category; I imaged a drive from one computer, ran sysprep, shut down, moved the drive to another computer and tried to boot. It didn't, I got the stop message per the M$ article 216915 (I didn't think it would work).

I want to delete the 'enum' entry in the registry but can't use RegEdit since that drive isn't bootable BUT I can access it from the other bootable (I believe in backups) drive in the new computer.
 
Unless someone knows how to point RedEdit to another drive other than 'C' what file is that key in in the 'WinNT\System32\Config' folder?

ok, can't seem to find that MS KB article... I imagine that you are having a inaccessible_boot_device BSOD? Firstly, sysprep isn't meant to be able to change HDD controllers, and my guess is this is exactly what is being done.
 
Also, you can use regedt32 and use the load hive command to load the registry hive on another NT/2K/XP, but I would advise 2k, box.
