Vista registry entries point at wrong drive

[sWiZzLe]

After cloning a laptop drive to a larger one i lost the ability to log in to my Vista 64 partition.

I have just managed to do so after using a Password Changing BootCD and have logged in as Administrator (My login still logs me straight back out again), and i have noticed that in the registry all the entries are pointing the the wrong drive.

The partition used to be on C, but is now on D. Is there any way i can replace all the entries easily - like add/replace in excel?

Cheers

I have found some pieces of software have allowed me to search and replace some values in the registry and now more things are working in Vista64, but many values are protected.

Is there a Bootable CD i can get which will allow me to do the same, but not inside Vista?

Cheers

You can change the drive letter of the system drive in Vista, not for the faint hearted, the information is here:

I have done it once before with no problems
