Adding Program fixes for the following;
Shane:
No it doesnt touch the BSD right now.
What was the results of the SFC you ran?

Rick:
Note: I already had problems with my system, so I decided to back up some things quickly to at least get back to there; “you know the meaning?) :)
I love Tweaks
First; where can I get the advanced sfc check commands; then I can at least run that on the desktop.
Some or all may be issues, or you may be aware of them already, however, here is what I did thus far
It seems I made some early mistakes; I am using a dual boot system...
(Registries restore options; if I have other REG backup files; can I use your service to restore them?) At least that will bring me back to a working state too. Call it the last chance saloon or whatever!
I only backed up one system, the C:\ “When it was D:\ that was important””:(“
Does your program detect how many operating systems? “Does it?” (Can you change your program to detect operating systems to back up for dummies like me? "And add the do it")
What if your system identified which boot system was the first entry? “Does it?”, then this would totally solve that issue seems!
Thanks in advance...
Note, when I ran the (dos_command), it didn't really work... I later found and noted that the BCD file was corrupt too and then I tried to restore using the BOOTREC from the install CD “but Failed”
Therefore, does your system copy the BCD files too! (Very important), I need restore them too along with the backup FILES for some reason.
Note: I found an old archive of the SAM files, reloaded them but now have other boot issues to solve! Tried doing the BOOTREC things, “still no luck at this point”
Note: Am running a program called Anti Avira Rescue System now; would you have a look and see if it is useful as a tool for corrupt startup repairs
Can do a Google to find the link for Avira AntiVir Rescue System: it checks the current registry entries from a boot environment; I find that useful when your system will not boot or when you repair the SAM files and it still will not saying the Registry is corrupt. (Having a clean boot and registry file is very important) I find the idea of using this tool useful to run before tweaking, how about you?
Note: It seems, people should run this Avira AntiVir Rescue System type of program like SFC and CHKDSK too before backing up there registries with tweaking.
There is another program called http://neosmart.net/ to help people restore the boot systems, I am not that desperate yet.
Frankly Speaking, any install disk performs the same tasks, "AUTOMATICALLY plus it will fix some things too, without me having to do anything"
Therefore, spending the HOURS it takes to make their program work, IT IS NOT HELPFUL in this scenario!
It is however usful for advanced technicians to help boot into unbootable systems with no install disk to look inside computer systems I give it a good rating for technicians and a poor rating for peope like me!
I like your tweaking programs… your on target!
If you have some other ideas, would like to here them.
References: {rebuild your boot configuration data} Windows Vista Boot Manager is missing or corrupt
Whether you have corruption to the bootmgr file or it is missing, the following should help to resolve it.
1. Boot from the Windows DVD and run the Startup Repair several times.
2. If the above doesn't cure the problem, go back to the Repair Option and this time choose Command Prompt, then type these 4 commands (in all instances the capitals are for clarity only):
BOOTREC /FIXMBR and press Enter
BOOTREC /FIXBOOT and press Enter.
BOOTREC /SCANOS and press Enter.
BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD and press Enter.
3. If it’s still not successful or you receive ‘No operating system found’ or ‘Element not found’ messages, go back to the Command Prompt and make the partition active by typing these commands:
DISKPART and press Enter.
LIST DISK and press Enter.
SELECT DISK N and press Enter (N represents the disk you want).
LIST PARTITION and press Enter.
SELECT PARTITION N and press Enter (N represents the partition you want).
ACTIVE and press Enter.
EXIT and press Enter.
Even after making the partition active, you may need to rerun 1 above and perhaps 2 as well.

Shane:
Right now the program only grabs the registry files on the system. It doesnt grab the boot manager. I have to see what is involved in backing it up first. I know erunt simply grabs the reg file for the BCD but there are files with it as well.
The program doesnt support dual boots. It does this by making a file in the Windows folder as an identifier.
So in this case on my system
Windows\tweaking.com-regbackup-SMC-Microsoft-Windows-7-Ultimate-(64-bit).dat
The file name is the computer name plus the version of Windows it is.
So when you run the dos restore it looks for that file so it knows which drive to restore the registry to :-)

(((I read that we can copy the SAM setup file, although it only 64, we should be at least able to boot into windows)))

Rick:
Well, heres another thought;
Your program backed up what it found, that true, so lets try and guess it out a little further. shall we?
Copy the backup "REGBACK" folder to a USB, Insert and run the Install disk
Get to the Command prompt from the Install Disk;
Find the USB, just keep typing e: f: G: till it finds the usb drive
Open the folder with the dos_restore.com on the USB drive and hit enter
or if that fails;
do an XCOPY *.* to C:\
(please edit for corrections)
This method does not solve the screen issue
