    First of all thank you very much for this great recovery tool.

    The first problem I got is that I am unable to create a “bootable” DVD Recovery media. The process to create the DVD media runs “sometimes” oke. But the ISO is not bootable, it does nothing, the screen stays black. Others times it creates 2 DISK(DISK1.iso and DISK2.iso), one with around 3.7GB and other with 300MB.

    Me second problem is with USB Recovery. When I am trying to do a system recovery with USB it gives me an error at the begin of the process (A few seconds after selection the language). The error is “there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk drive (\device\harddisk\DR1)”. When I press “Try again” the process continues and performs the recovery successfully. Any idea why this error appear?

    Current installation setup:

    • OS = Windows 7 64bit
    • Few drivers installed

    Partition setup:

    • C: = 50GB
    • D: = around 230GB (all the space left)
    • Hidden Recovery partition = 12GB.

    Version: Basic 3.0.0 - Alpha 1

    Thank you in advance.

    Did you had to install drivers to install Windows 7 on your computer? Like RAID drivers or similar?

    Are you using an USB 3.0 port for Recovery? Usb 3 can'nt be used for USB recovery under Windows 7.

    Are you using default settings for the app or have you made any modification to the settings files? If using default settings, which one are you using?

    1.3.16/3.0.0-A1 support Windows 8.1 directly.

    1.3.15 support it BUT you have to run the following command first :
    REAGENTC /DISABLE

    Then, run my script to install the recovery Tools.

    On the first boot, you will have to run the command REAGENTC /ENABLE to activate the recovery environement. After that, you will be good Under Windows 8.1

    I am getting an error during the copying over of the recovery program.

    SYSPREPING THE COMPUTER

    .\Files\Windows\FullRestore.cmd
    .\Files\Windows\SettingsRE.txt
    .\Files\Windows\System32RecoveryTools\1.bmp
    .\Files\Windows\System32RecoveryTools\2.bmp
    .\Files\Windows\System32RecoveryTools\3.bmp
    .\Files\Windows\System32RecoveryTools\4.bmp
    .\Files\Windows\System32RecoveryTools\RecoveryAMD64.exe
    .\Files\Windows\System32RecoveryTools\RecoveryX86.exe
    Access Denied



    You know what may cause this and can you implement a check so it does not start the sysprep if it happens? I half to reload the system again when it happens.

    Thanks again for all your hard work on this project it has been a great help.


    Update:
    MS Security Essentials is marking the file Recoveryx86.exe as a trojan:Win32/Dynamer!ac a Severe alert..

    I am sorry to say but you wont be able to get anyone to help support when including a antivirus during audit mode because it always results in failure, if this is your case. :( I always install my av with firstlogon.cmd (oem) or setupcomplete.cmd (non-oem) file. ;)

    Hi, i'm sorry because I know that this is not the right place to post this question, but this is the first forum where I see people that have excellent comprension about windows recovery, so I have to try.

    Maybe this is quite easy for you...

    I have a Vaio t13 laptop

    Two months ago i copied my oem recovery partition to an external drive using the windows option "create recovery drive" and later i cheked the option to delete internal recovery partition.

    Now i would like to put it back in cause i have to sell the laptop, but i dont know how and i can't find informatio regarding this.

    The copy is working and i didn't change the internal partition layout.

    Thanks

    Ya, i figured i can just not setup Essentials and it fixed the issue, but i am worried that after they start using the system and setup essentials it will disable that file making the recovery program unusable.

    If I use the recovery partition on an unmodified w7 dvd, I can use the F7 or the recovery.exe program to enter on the recovery system and then re-install windows. But If I use the double console, for the AIO support, the F7 or the recovery.exe just reboot the pc. The only method to enter on the recovery console is with the support, and then I can reinstall windows from the recovery partition.

    I can make a recovery partition even from the AIO dvd, but I can't use the recovery.exe program.

    I don't think that recovery partition and recovery tools are the same. The partition is more advanced but if you want to use the original recovery tools, from the dvd, you must have 1 dvd for the 32bit and one for the 64bit, because 32bit can run under 64bit but 64bit can't run under 32bit.

    Hi all!

    I received a lot of complains about virus in my software. After running my package through VirusTotal, I got a lot of warning baout trojans, etc.

    They are false positive. Probably a dump a** used AutoIt (the Scripting language I use) to make some s**t and anti-virus program now flags AutoIt software.

    So, to reduce the number of false positive I recompiled all my EXE files using the latest AutoIt version and using the UPX file compression. The number of false positive dropped. Major anti-virus should be ok with my software now.

    Still, if you don't trust my software, simply install AutoIT (full package on your compututer) and compile each AU3 file. I have a CMD file that take the freshly compiled file and overwrite mine if you need to.

    Sorry for that, but it is out of my control.

    The new re-compiled version is now available to download.

    Thanks for trying all that Anarethos. The Antivirus companies just blanket flag all autoit compiles as "Trojans/untrustworthy/dangerous".
    Even simple bat to exe gets flagged. It's pretty poor on there behalf...

    Thank you Anarethos but I haven't had that issue yet but sure it has happened with others. I remember back a couple yrs ago even UPX caused AV's to go wild but then it all worked out. I never trust a AV, I always investigate first then make my own decision. As always, great work. :)
