produkey.exe can read a binary hive from another system so i have two partions, a ubuntu and a winxp i can copy /windows/system32/config/software <software is the registry hive > the program can read this binary and find the encrypted XP system key and decrypt it but it gives the error re permissions i even copied the file to a thumbdrive formatted fat32 where there are no permissions and wine/linux stops access to the file
