I have a Windows XP laptop which had a corrupted "windows\system32\config \system" file. Tried to run a repair install, but the installer did not see the original install (probably due to the corrupt file). Using recovery console, we managed to repair the file, but still cannot log into windows (it halts immediately after loading MUP.sys). I have created a second partition on the hard drive, and have installed XP there. We would like to copy the program files directory over to the new partition, copy the original registry (so we don't have to reinstall everything), and then delete the original partition and re-merge the drive. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to copy the registry from outside of windows.
As an aside, is the file which was originally corrupted the file in which windows actually stores the registry?
