The suggestion that I finally got working was to install Windows ona new VM and swipe the SYSTEM registry hive from there. This registryhive contains all the information about your hardware that Windowsneeds to boot, so if you can get Windows booting in a VM then you canuse the corresponding SYSTEM registry hive to boot the recoveredinstallation. At least that's the theory; in practice it needs a bitof hackery to make it work.
