now all I get are BSOD's

Hey thanx a million!😁👍🏻 OK, so a bit of luck fell on me today, havin a root in me spare parts tub, I found a Kingston A400 480Gb SSD - basically the identical same drive to the one with the dodgy windows installation on. So I'm now goin to swap out the drives, clean install on the spare empty drive an create a system hive which is identical to the one that is corrupt, then copy the hive to a USB, put the original drive back in an transplant the fresh system hive into the broken installation, an hopefully cure it or at least get the installation to boot so I repair it an tidy up from the inside... I've been at this since 11am! Oh for the love of it!🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

You must enjoy it or you would never put yourself through the pain

Part of the issue is going to be User Security ID (SID)s. The new registry hive will have different Security IDs for the users.

There are so many things in the registry that get created on a new install of Windows that match only the Windows installation that it was created on, I don't think you will ever repair a corrupted registry by replacing it with a hive from a different installation of Windows.

The drivers hive is also corrupt and therefore cannot be loaded with Restorehealth for repairs.

You could take the drivers hive from your parallel installation and replace the defective drivers hive to test.

Backup beforehand the defective drivers hive.

OK so, tried it an got BSOD Critical Failure, but it past the boot stage and was into the kernel... see the files...


Dropbox - MEMORY.DMP - Simplify your life

I've just downloaded an installed the Windows 10 SDK. How do I use it to open up and view the Memory.dmp file? I mean, you can't obviously view it in Notepad, all you get is a big mess....

To open a .dmp File you need WinDbg but BSOD is not my area.
The BSOD experts can certainly help you with that.

WinDbg? Is this part of the sdk? I installed everything... It just occurred to me that I haven't run DISM RestoreHealth with the new driver hive yet!? I'll do it now...

The crash dump file shows the same error when the process Services.exe was running. As you can see the process is terminated. Something must go wrong but I can't work it out. The error code 0xd1b2e080 is not one I can fathom out.

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0xEF_services.exe_BUGCHECK_CRITICAL_PROCESS_d1b2e080_ntdll!NtTerminateProcess

The nice thing is all your Environment Variables are now looking good!
