Possible to open "Restore Point" files from "system volume information

Hello!
I've a customer with a vista computer (i know, spare the flame:ing :)) it was infected with crypt0l0cker and after restoring it to a previous restore point it seems like the SAM hives or something broke down on it since i cant create new users and some services isnt working as it should included VSS (so I cant do a new system restore).

So I can't use "system restore" app but the files/snapshots are still present under "system volume information", is there a way to open these files on another computer, to browse them and save some of the files in it?

EDIT: I found a good solution please se my reply further down. (this will work on other systems then Vista)

Your problem statement isn't entirely clear- it does seem as though you can boot..

You may be able to fix VSS with a utility from Macrium Reflect

If you can't boot, then you might consider trying to restore your registry backup- which is possible.

Good luck

Sounds like you'll have a very happy customer! Well done. (Encourage them to start using disk imaging)
