What do you mean exactly by that? I will take a look, but just in case, can you give me the output of the command "REAGENTC /INFO" ? Also, you need normally about 2 reboot to have it enabled. Finally, are-you able to enter the recovery environment the "regular" way, by pressing (and holding) SHIFT while selecting "Reboot" in the charms bar? Closing/Killing the menu will make the computer imediatly reboot, so I can't touch it.
command "REAGENTC /INFO : C:\Windows\system32>reagentc /infoInformations sur la configuration de l'Environnement de récupération Windows (WinRE) et la réinitialisation du système : État WinRE : Enabled Emplacement WinRE : \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\17c0 082a-5228-11e3-87eb-d50890ffd28b Identificateur des données de configuration du démarrage (BCD) : 17c0082a-52 28-11e3-87eb-d50890ffd28b Emplacement de l'image de récupération : \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\par tition1\RecoveryImage Index de l'image de récupération : 1 Emplacement de l'image personnalisée : Index de l'image personnalisée : 0 REAGENTC.EXE : opération réussie.

Everything seems to works correctly. If you run the following command, the computer should reboot into the recovery environment REAGENTC /BootToRe
Hello, I have put the imagex files in the proper places and also copied the settings_examples to the settings folder but when i run the update_settings it errors out every time. I am logged in as the administrator but i cannot figure out how to fix this problem. This is for a W7 X64 system.

Make sure the x86 one is in the x86 folder but rename to imagex.exe and do the same for the one in the x64 bit folder (change name to imagex.exe).
OK i got that working and installed following the PDF but there is no F7 option. The unit took the image correctly and everything. Do i need to modify a config file to enable the F7 menu option?
It doesnt say what f key you used but if you reboot and hit the f7 key right after the bios screen you should enter into the recovery partition. I change my f key personally to f11 since my dell lappy used that before for the oem recovery partition it came with (SettingsRE.txt under Hotkey is where it is located to change f key).
F1 0x3b00 F2 0x3c00 F3 0x3d00 F4 0x3e00 F5 Do not use (reserved) F6 0x4000 F7 0x4100 F8 Do not use (reserved) F9 0x4300 F10 0x4400 F11 0x8500 F12 0x8600
Hello So after changing the config and re-installing my hotkey still is not working. What could cause this? I am trying to use this for an older Dell D630 laptop running w7hp X86.
If the laptop didn't come with win 7 on it (hense you said old) the odds are it wont assign the f key. I had a same issue with a gateway that had xp on it originally. I had to use arconis on that one for this project didn't work on it. You might have the same issue. This is a problem trying to get a old machine to work like the new ones do....they cant for they aren't made for it. Not saying this is your exact problem but I have a feeling it is.
I tried it on a native W7 machine as well with the same results. Hotkey is still not working after i set it to both the F7 and F11 hex code in the settings. Im at wits end on how to get this hotkey to work./

@ AnarethoS These seems to be the issues...should be 1 and 0. Plus the ID is all zero's and recovery environment is empty. I haven't seen this before. I wonder if windows loader is being used for I read that it could cause issues...don't know if that is true for I haven't tried for most all mine are oem activated using searchengines project for oem activations.
I don't know why, but it seems your Recovery Environment is not enabled! Type the following command in command prompt and try again REAGENTC /ENABLE This should enable the recovery environment correctly.
WinRE is disabled (so he can't use it at all, neight by pressing the F key or by using the "Repair my computer" option).
I wonder what is disabling it? Just curious. I know you don't know but maybe when TFL gets back he can give some details on what he installed prior to capturing the image.
