Reg Hive Files Missing

Hey people,

My computer stopped booting not so long ago after I attempted to clean off some trojans that malwarebytes had discovered. It said it would reapir the problem on bootup but I never got past the windows loading screen. No blue screen, the computer just rebooted constantly. I couldn't even get into safe mode.

The windows OEM disc cannot repair the problem automatically. I suspect the trojans have trashed some of my registry hive files. After chekcing the backups of my registry hives, I found 2 missing.

For now I'm using a second installation of Windows 7 that I installed on a seperate HDD. I have access to my original HDD and there doesn't seem to be any hardware issues.

My questions are:
Is there a way to repair my registry hive files?
Would this be fixed by a "Custom" install of windows over the original to repair the hive files? - Would this keep the installed programs?
Would I be better off keeping with my new OS install and transfering my files across?

Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated =)

Will do, Thanks Dude!

Hey hey,

A repair install (Custom) managed to fix the system. Is there anyway to move all my old programs out of windows.old and back into the current program files folder?

Thanks for any help :)
