My regular work pc got hit with a power glitch and nothig I do seems to
repair the original software hive.
I was able to restore an old one from 2 years ago in the repair directory
and now it boots. The problem is
I realy need the software from the original working hive which is over 17
megs. i have tried installing
cpoies shotened with a hex editor-- no luck.. is there anything i can do to
fix the large hive. I have it backed
up after the crash. ( I imaged the drive) the hardware seems solid been up 2
months on the repair hive
but several things a re broken, no msinstaller, office is gone.. all data is
intact though..

any ideas?

TIA

Usually it's the size of the System hive that you need to be concerned
with, the size of the Software hive doesn't matter too much.

the system hive would be ok. i only had to replace the software hive from
the repair directory.. is there any way to repair the damaged one?
I have replaced only the software hive though repair console. I also ran the
modified registry repair tool from
MS (6 floppies) it says cant fix then done..

thanks in advance.. I would really like to get this machine back to the way
it was..

There's really nothing left short of a backup.

I was afraid of that, is there any utility that can read and manipulate a
hive? seems like a handy tool if there is..
then i could fix the old one and replace the small repair one with something
close but better..

None that I know of will read a corrupt hive file.
