this is a little involved but hopefully something is possible
after an incomplete repair, there were display dlls's that i didn't have at
the time,
when i attempt to start/restart the repair in progress it again i get the
corrupt system file message
C:\windows\system32\config\system missing or corrupt
i have run a chkdsk /r and tried numerous restarts on the repair, sometimes
it starts, sometimes
it doesn't recognize the windows install. in the config folder i had saved
the original repair system and system.sav
when it doesn't recognize the existing install or gives the corrupt system
msg, if i copy the saved system
over the current one in config, i can get back to recognzing the install and
starting a repair again or continuing
with an incomplete repair, still with me here?
(and one big question here: is the system file in the config folder, the
actual registry, that is on disk until it is loaded?)
i don't think i can get past my current state, however my main question, i
have the system file, in the
repair folder, if that is from the original install and if i replace the
current system with it, and it actually boots windows,
i have a system as of 4 years ago from the original install?, which is
something but after 4 years of program installs etc
kinda useless. but will that somehow allow me to patch the problem system
file that i have in config?
or better yet, i have a saved registry file, that i made from the regedit
export that would be current enough. is there some way to
use that saved registry to replace the problem system file?
note when i say system file i mean c:/windows/system32/config/system (with
no extension)
