One other 'solution' I thought of:

You can mount the drive as 'slave' as you and TM12 have suggested. On the drive, you should find the "\windows\system32\config\system" file. Make a backup copy of it.

Then, you'll want to visit the "\Windows\Repair" folder. There may be a good (but maybe older) copy of the corrupt registry file ('system'). Copy that one into the \system32\config\ folder, and you may be able to boot. This should work, if the problem is soley a registry error.

And yes, those are the correct floppy disks. If you have a CD, that will work too (and faster).
