User's post on December 27, I have fixed it. You can write this with a simple batch file as well, if chkdsk returns any errorlevel other than zero, re-run it. Naturally you will want to do the chkdsk part from your WinPE based boot CD, laptop, or tech bench system you are using to swap the registry hives.

Microsoft has officially documented the registry hive swap with a ton of unneeded steps starting with a parallel windows installation of course, but curiously with running system restore from safe mode AFTER swapping the hives.

HOW do I do that?? Down loaded the fix program and it gives me a runtime error. Any help would be appreciated. Looks like a great program. I built the CD, the troubled computer loaded it, with splashscreen , then asks for network connection. Neither the keyboard nor mouse functions. What do I do? I made a tool to automate restoring an old registry snapshots to replace a corrupted registry hive. It saves you the time of typing all the commands or dragging and dropping.

It can be run from a windowsPE Disk or if you slave the offline drive to another computer. Please let me know if you find any bugs I have tested on a few computers with no issues.
