It's a Vista registry hive.
My XP Pro hives look like this (from a Registry Finder print, modified to show better):

Mine has ...\HarddiskVolume1\... where yours has ...\Harddisk0\gobbledegook\... -- I don't know if that difference is the cause of the problem. In any case, it's nothing we can change -- I think PT gets the hive paths with a windows API call ...
