Non-bootable Win 2003 Server--need to find ODBC settings

Question

I inherited a problem. I have a Windows 2003 machine that will not boot. I really just need to view the ODBC setttings from this drive (i.e. win 2003 boot drive). I was able to mount and access the drive from Win 7.

My plan was to: 1. Launch regedit from Win 7 2. Use Load Hive to access registry on 2003 drive. 3. Find ODBC setting information.

However, Win 7's regedit will not let me use load hive. It's disabled.

How can I enable load hive? Will load hive allow me to access the win 2003's registry? Is there an easier way to vview the ODBC settings?

Thanks!

Follow instructions here. You can only load onto HKLM (local machine) in win7.
