Reaching out registry to delete a driver from outside of the OS

[BladePocok]

Greetings,

My old pc's VGA driver caused a boot freeze with my Windows XP SP3 system and I wanna delete it somehow. I've already rebuilt the MBR and tried everything that was suggested on different forums, my last resort (beside the reinstall) is that I somehow should delete my vga driver itself and from the registry too. Any suggestion?

Thank you

If you ever want it to work again you'll leave the registry alone.
No idea why rebuilding the MBR would work.

We really need to know what you have tried, and what you have available to you.

Do you have any form of built in gpu?
Can you get into BIOS
Can you get into Safe mode?

The BIOS is ok but the safe mode isnt. I can pass the Windows XP logo loading screen, but then a blank grey /black screen appears and that's all, the boot into the OS stops there, this happens during safe mode too. I have an Asus P5VD2-VM SE Motherboard, an Intel Dual Core E4400 CPU( no inbuilt GPU) , 2GB of ram (DDR2, maybe 800 Mhz). I did a ramtest (ran almost half a day) and it passed through. And I have an AMD HD3600 VGA aswell.

There is my previous report, the chckdsk is fine by now. currently I'm using an Ubuntu as a main OS and I can reach my files on my other HDD (where the XP OS located too) so it's not dead (maybe dying but still working). I'M 100% sure that a driver cause my troubles and I want to remove it somehow by remotely.

Do you know what driver files you need to delete? For example on my computer right now, the Nvidia card I'm using there are roughly 30 .dll files referenced in the driver details.

If Linux runs fine, I would assume the problem is just Windows (which is highly like, since it's XP)

Yep the problem is XP . Currently my parents using the system and they are eager to come back to the old system. But the problem is that there are a lot of files that I can't locate properly via Linux file explorer that MAYBE still valuable for us and I can't risk the whole reinstall process.

So can you get it to work using the HD3600, enable it in bios, remove the discrete gpu, use the ports on the mobo? If you can, then you can uninstall the GPU properly.

I have a Radeon HD3600 series VGA and it's driver the whole cause of problem so I can't do anything . The mobo's ports are support igp but the cpu doesnt have one so its useless in that way.
