That worked!, The smaller hive I was testing from my windows 8.1 set up when i couldn't boot, the larger one (not used) is the last known good back up from august - do I need to restore anything from it or am I fine with the hive you just gave me?

Keep the current hive. The other one is bigger because it contains keys and values from obsolete versions.

Next fix. I applied them to your COMPONENTS hive again.
