nope, it was Daemontools clogging up the works.
It's now fully operational after much hairpulling and 'WHAT THE HELL'

Subject: [H] Extracting profile from a dead Windows XP installation
Hi guys,
long story:
mainboard dies
replace mainboard with identical mainboard machine bluescreens
during bootup
in an entirely non-helpful way do repair installation of XP SP2; no
change,
still bluescreens put harddisk in an entirely different machine with a
different chipset, do another repair install of windows, no change
What. the. hell.
Suggestions?
the data on the disk is intact, but that windows install has
utterly borked
itself to FUBAR status, is there an easy/semi-easy way to transfer the
profiles across to another install (which I've done and
works) on the same disk
yes yes, I know, take backups...
:(
help plz.
