Hi,

I have some bad news, the components HIVE of Windows is badly damaged. Do you have a backup of all the important data or a full systemimage?

Hi,

I don't have a full systemimage but i have a backup of my important datas.
Do you mean I have no other choice but doing a new clean install of Windows ?

Thanks for your help and time anyway
