I looked around the net for a bit but couldn't find a fix similar to
what can be done to recover the vista registry when the os won't boot.
What you are saying is what I'd do to recover my files. Install another
hard drive, install fresh os, retrieve files from old hard drive. As for
dual booting the bad vista I wouldn't worry about that. I'd just recover
the files I needed from it then wipe the drive and use it as a spare
storage drive.
Sorry that I don't have an easier fix. I looked in c:\System Volume
Information on vista ultimate and it isn't the same as XP as far as
system restore is concerned. Vista stores the system restore information
in the same area as xp except all of the files in c:\System Volume
Information are single blob type files that are probably compressed with
microsoft's .cab compression type but i'm not sure as i cant get it to
decompress with uncab or winrar.... probably permission settings, but i
looks tough.
