Hello Juan,
Download and install the WAIK
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/129a1712-e3d8-46c1-bc0
9-a14349dc67db1033.mspx?mfr=true
You should be able to build a Windows Vista WinPE bootable CD\DVD from that.
As for the registry, it is backed up everyday to the
\windows\system32\config\regback folder.
So if the files are corrupted in \windows\system32\config, you could
manually copy them from the regback folder to the config folder.
There are the registry files that WinRE uses as part of it's recovery
methods if the registry cannot be loaded.
There are two copies maintained, the .old copies are older of the two
copies.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
