When you receive a:

STOP: 0x00000073 (0x00000001, 0xc000017d, 0x00000002, 0xfc96fcc0)
CONFIG_LIST_FAILED

Windows XP is telling you that it cannot link the SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, or DEFAULT hive to the registry.

NOTE: The hive may not be damaged.

NOTE: The hive may have been successfully loaded.

Use the 4 parameters to determine the reason:

Parameter

Description

FirstParameter

1

SecondParameter

The Windows status code that indicated thatWindows had failed to load the hive.

ThirdParameter

The index of the hive in the hive list

FourthParameter

A pointer to a UNICODE_STRING containing thefilename of the hive

The second parameter is the cause of the error:

0xc000017d: STATUS_NO_LOG_SPACE - Out of disk space.

0xC000009A: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES - Insufficient RAM or virtual memory. Occassionaly, this might mean that the kernel is running out of paged-pool memory. See tip 0279 and 5047.
