Here's an interesting issue I've run into a couple times and since I didn't see it documented anywhere I thought I'd give everyone a heads up here.
When using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 you may find that you have missing default boot images and that you're unable to import boot images through the administrator's console. When you try to import a boot image you get the following error:
System Events -
“{Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Windows\TEMP\BootImages\{6488069C-63E9-44AA-8C47-BB2A3EDD6B75}\mount\Windows\system32\config\SYSTEM' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.”
You may also see these errors in the DISM.log:

So what was the cause? What we ultimately found was that if there's a disk management or maintenance service such as IntelliWrite by Diskeeper running on the disk then it can cause this type of issue.
In my case, we temporarily disabled the Diskeeper service and once we did that we were able to import the default boot images after manually copying the WIMS from a working server to the following folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\OSD\boot\x86
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\OSD\boot\x64
So if you're running into an issue like the one I describe above, take a look and see what disk related services you have installed. There's a chance that simply disabling those services temporarily will let you import the images successfully.
Hope this helps,
