Manual System restore in Win7
In win xp when i couldn't do a system restore i would boot from ubcd4win and manually copy the 5 reg files to sys\config.
In Win7 it works differently and if the sys restore option from the boot repair doesnt work i'm stuck. Does anyone know how to do this? I can't remember where I saw the original tip to see if they updated it. Thanks.

Are you saying the files in System32/config/regback are the -original- files from the installation? Mine are just dated from 9 days ago, and I last rebooted 4 days ago.

Yes, Regback should contain backup of latest files. Unlike with XP I've not had as much joy with this in W7 though...
Ps have you tried a number of different restore points when doing sys restore from boot recovery? Sometimes a few will be corrupted and not work but one will - not necessarily in any order e.g. the ok one might be in the middle of 5 corrupt ones...

But if you mean system restore reg backups, along with everything else system restore related in Win7 I believe they are stored as volume shadow copies.

Yes, I am referring to the files stored in the volume system copies. I winxp i used to be able to use the reg files from there to restore from. In win7 I cant figure out how to do it.
Has anyone played around with this? @Techlogon sometimes all are corrupt. this is when i would use the trick of loading these files from there. @eHousecalls.ca im not sure if its the originals or not but its for sure not a set from a moth ago which is what i like to sue in winxp.
