ricktendo Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 You will find 5 HIVE*.INF files uncompressed in your i386 folder, they are added right after textmode setup just before it reboots into gui part of the setup and are basically the windows registry "hive".They are given names depending on what part of the registry there for example:HIVESYS.INF = HKLM\SYSTEM\*HIVESFT.INF = HKLM\SOFTWARE\*HIVECLS.INF = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\*You get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Make sure that hivex.inf is encoded properly I guess (Unicode) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
