QuestionProblems reading USER.DAT file in the regedit (Win95) Pin

Hello,

I posted a question into the Lounge regarding how to read the registry of one Win95 that doesn't boot.

The answers I've got are great, and refer me to use the regedit in real mode.

I can get access to it by using a floppy drive with a boot disk (it seems that it is not the same OS version so I cannot make a "sys c:" to make it bootable again).

What I've tried till now is to use regedit in real mode as it is explained in several pages in the Internet:

regedit /l:c:\windows\system.dat /r:c:\windows\user.dat /e c:\file.txt

That instruction should read the DAT files contents and write them into the c:\file.txt.

The problem is that if I open the USER.DAT file using an editor I can read some strings that make me think that the information that I need is inside that file (some paths to the program which configuration I need to recover) but when I execute that instruction a complete registry dump is made, but those strings disappear completely.

I must be doing something wrong, but I have no clue on what can be.

Do you have any idea that could help?

As always thank you in advance.
