Hi Gonzo :)

My name is Aura and I'll be assisting you with your issue. Follow the instructions below please.

Retrieving the COMPONENTS Hive
Follow the instructions below to retrieve your COMPONENTS Hive and send me it.

• Open your Windows Explorer, and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder;
• In this folder, find the COMPONENTS file (there's no extension), and copy it to your Desktop;
  Note: If you receive an error message saying that the COMPONENTS file is in use, restart your computer and try again. If the error message persist, let me know.
• Right-click on it, and select Send to... and choose Compressed (zipped) folder;

Hey thanks for the prompt reply! https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=5F5A9BA4187F3D9E!504&authkey=!AHKjG6aNrujZKiM&ithint=file,zip

Hope this is what you wanted, thanks

Sadly your COMPONENTS Hive has been corrupted beyond repair. It cannot even be loaded. The only option you have right now is to do a repair install of your Windows 8 system.

 

[Gonzo]

The reason I wanted to do this was for a windows 10 upgrade, I tried to upgrade with a windows 10 media disk but I kept getting an error I'm not sure if this is your expertise or anything but would that error have something to do with this? (if it's any help this is the error code I was getting 0x80070004 - 0x2000D)

Thanks for your help!

It could be, yes. There's only one thing we can try in that situation, because without a COMPONENTS Hive, you cannot do anything.
