You must know your DOS commands

The reg hives are all hidden files, so to even see them you must
use dir /a to see hidden files in a directory. Before copying the files you must remove the -R -S -H attributes.
-R = Read only
-S = System
-H = Hidden
You do this by typing at the command prompt.
c:\attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\system32\config\software
Removes read only, system, and hidden attributes.

This will enable you to rename or copy or move, else you can't manipulate these files.

I have recovered systems using this method.
Good luck!
