Hello,

I have a corrupted windows installation (does not boot) and wants to repair it.
But this needs write access to windows/system32/config

I mounted the pvm file and tried to copy files the mentioned folder.
All I get is an unexpected error -36.

Trying to create or copy files to root or temp works fine.

How can I grant me the neccessary rights to copy system files from windows/repair to windows/system32/config?
 
I now recognized that I'm able to wrtie to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc but still not in c:\windows\system32\config.

Very strange... Could it be that that this file system is corrupted? Do I have the chance to repair it?
 
I was able to solve this problem on my own.
It was a problem with the file system. I inserted the winxp boot cd, started the recovery console and performed a chkdsk /R
After that, the files and folders are repaired and everything is working fine again.
