See if you can boot into Windows RE command prompt then perform the following steps:
(comments are in parenthesis)
(Type:)
C:
dir
D:
dir
bcdedit | find ""osdevice"
(select the partition drive letter, this should be the windows drive and not the USB drive)
(For this post I wii use C: however you should pick the drive letter that you found that has the windows files on your computer)
(The proper drive will display: perflogs, program files, program files (x86), users, windows, etc.)
cd \windows\system32\config
(it should now display: C:\windows\system32\config>)
dir
(It should display: bbi, bcd-template, components, default, drivers, elam, sam, security, software, system, vsmidk, journal, regback, systemprofile txr, etc.)
(All of the files sizes should be sizable. If it displays zeros then abort.)
(Make a new directory and name it backup or something similar.)
MD backup
(Copy all of the files into this new directory)
copy . backup
(It should now display bbi, bcd-template, components, default, drivers, elam, sam, security, software, system, vsmidk indicating that the files were copied.)
(Change the directory to regback.)
cd regback
(It should now display: C: \windows\system32\config\regback>)
dir
(It should display: default, sam, security, software, system, etc.)
(All of these files must be sizable. If it displays zeros then abort.)
copy . ..
(It should now display:
DEFAULT
Overwrite ..\default? (yes/no/all):)
a
(It should now display: same, security, software, system and that the files were copied.)
exit
(click turn off your PC)
(remove the USB flash drive)
(power on the computer)
The website font is malfunctioning and the symbols for star were not displayed.

D:
dir
bcdedit | find ""osdevice"
cd \windows\system32\config

MD backup
