    I am wondering if anyone knows how to install Windows Recovery environment to a Hdd prior to a fresh install of WIndows 7 Ult.. Or even Windows 8. My goal is to actually install the DART recovery environment and tools on a hidden recovery partition at the beginning of a new disk. I have been all over Technet, MSFN forums, and read a lot of Microsoft documentation. Microsoft documentation sucks on this subject and you have to read a lot between the lines. Right now I have DART recovery disks made for every version of Windows from XP to Win 8.1 and Server 2012 r2. They all work. I have installation disks (the AIOs and Specific flavors). I even have the ones with DART embedded into the install disk from Murphy78. I am looking for a way or a detailed step-by-step guide to doing this. I would like to use command line when installing to manually create the partitions and do the installs. Any help or reference would be greatly appreciated. And if there is no detailed guide if I can find the help I seek, I will write it out and make it avail on multiple forums...
