Did you download and put the 2 ImageX file required for Windows 7? They are not required for Windows 8. Since M$ EULA forbid the distribution of thèses files, you have to DL them by yourself....
Yes i miss the file. now i have put each 2 file from WAIK into imagex folder for 32bit and 64bit. in CMD i see this Code: ===============================================Deleting current settings =============================================== Could Not Find D:\Basic1.3.15\WIM -

Thought so. Most of the systems I'm doing have both ssd & hdd. Just to install the OS I need to disconnect the hdd under windows 7 as the disk order is one way then flipped on a reboot. This has not happened using Win8/winpe4 or dos (for ghosting). I did assume that if winre was on disk 0 and I boot it, it would always be listed as disk 0 - this is not the case. Seems to only happen on intel chipset. Have never had this with amd...
Create a EI.CFG file and put it in the "sources" folder. Here is the content of the file : Code: [EditionID] [Channel] OEM [VL] 0
Hey AnarethoS! I think it's a great application - from what I read. I'm not sure if it's what I'm looking for, hence I'd like to ask if this is what I'm looking for. I basically want to create a "recovery" partition for a Windows 7 setup, which has Windows 7, drivers, AV (security essentials) and Microsoft Office installed. I did think along the lines of a complete hard disk partition backup and restore (it's for a laptop I bought), but I'd like it to be as simple as possible; also possibly on a USB-Stick or hidden partition. Would you try your program (yes - I do know the difference to regular partition restoring programs, but perhaps this one works too?)? Or would you e.g. create a recovery image using Windows 7 and then just boot + recover it from that stick or would you use some partition program such as one of the Acronis tools? Please excuse me for being a newbie in this regard - I'd reinstall Windows 7 every time, but since I'm installing from USB, I'd have to create a Windows 7 USB-Stick, which is USB3.0-enabled, because it didn't proceed with the installation otherwise.. besides installing all those endless updates etc. was a mess. Thanks everyone for your help in advance . divStar.
hi AnarethoS, i want to do this on my hard drive at 1rst install : View attachment 21947 i've done this picture, after install for exemple do you think it's possible, and recovery work? i'm on windows 8 or maybe with this partitions configuration : Recovery > Boot > Windows > Jeux* > Documents* (*= logical)
Yes, this can be done. You will have to modify the AutoUnattend.XML file to create the exact partition layout you want and edit the different configuration file to math the good partition number. Since you will have logical partition, I recommend you to use the version with the WIM file on the first partition, as I don't donw if Windows sill accept extended/logical partition to hold the WIM file. You will have to test for that. If you need particular help, you can contact me in PM... in French Have a nice day!
Well, software like Acronis and other allows you o backup a working Windows installation. My Tools is to create a base image before the creation of the user account. You can't use it to backup a working Windows installation. If you just want a solution to have a quick way to recover your computer to a working state, my Tools will do the trick. The recovery partition is hidded. You can also create a recovery USB key. Note that using the Recovery key erase verything. you can't keep your document when using it. You can keep them in "Windows.Old" when recoverying from the hidden partition.
if i can speak with you in french, that will be be a lot easier to do this ^^ i'll do some try and if i have a mistake i'll pm you
anarethos.dyndns.org:8080 this link is blocked in UAE i can't download latest version please anyone upload new version on mediafire or 4shared so other peoples download and test newer version thankss
Hi AnarethoS Great thanks for the guide. Windows 8 is restored successfully. However, I didn't get it to work 100%. Below are some of my problem, hope you can help 1. Except for the drivers, all the installed apps (MS Office, etc...) are gone after backup process is done 2. The tool doesn't back up windows activation. It asked me to enter the license again or the windows isn't activated I followed your guide step by step. Please let me know where I could be wrong. Many thanks
