I have been fixing a friend pc which won't start and has a
suspect registry. I've worked half way through KB307545
and copied the files from the repair directory.

Trouble is on restart it reports that the "system"
registry hive is corrupt even though I coppied it from the
repair directory!

Does anyone know where I can get a clean copy of this file?

Thanks
 
Dave, did you delete System, Software, Security, Sam and Default from
the C:\Windows\System32\Config
Folder. Then copy those same five files from the C:\Windows\Repair
Folder and paste them back into
the Config folder.
