I recently went through a somewhat awful experience having to recover my Win7 registry after if was corrupted. Almost all web sites that I visited after Google search on this topic, only talked about recovery from the running system itself. With a corrupted registry (badly enough to preclude booting), I found only one reference and that used regedit from the Recovery Console of the install CD. That is pretty tedious work.
I am looking for a program that can be run from another partition to access a damaged registry (or copy thereof). In other words, work interactively on a static copy of a registry to view, diagnose, analyze, edit, change, recover, or repair the hive files, so they can be used again to bring a system back to a bootable state.
If you know of any such program, even in part, please post your information here.
Thank you.
