True but it could be interpreted as using his User Account.
Another thought. The OP has another computer, which unfortunately is a
laptop. If you placed the problem hard drive in an enclosure connected
to the laptop could you copy userinit.exe from
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 to C:\WINDOWS\system32. The drive
letters would of course be different, whilst the drive is being treated
as an external drive. I am assuming the Windows Protection feature would
not function to protect the system32 folder in this situation.
