    Your better off leaving it as fat32 anyway. That way UEFI is properly supported.

    I was trying to help come up with a way to be able to use most of the DVD space. The problem I read later (20 or so pages) on was due to the splitting not using the requested size. If he chose 4000 MB sometimes it would generate a file that wouldn't fit on the DVD.

    AnarethoS where are the partitions deleted in the different restore modes. Are they done by you in the CMD files? Bear with me as I haven't read any of the documentation or checked the files as I'm writing these comments while they're fresh in my head after reading all the pages.

    If you are trying to use the oem folder on a legit legal win 8.x machine (with oem-dm key in bios) then you will HAVE to include a pid.txt file with a install key that you can find just by googling (lol). Add that to the pid.txt file and put in in the source folder of the iso....now your oem folder will work. If this is the case. You really need to provide more info like with os and version you are using and if it is legit oem activated. I'm shooting in the dark here. lol

    Then in that case in the xml file put complete path so the os knows where to find it....put in oem folder as to the path of the image file. The xml file and oem folder location with the image in it should match. ;)

    Whye? The old nam was obvious about the use of the software : Recovery Partition.

    "Anarethos Recovery Tools" don't say much it think. But this is my own opinion anyway.

    Which OS?

    Which restore mode?

    Under Windows 8, it is made by M$ based on the ResetPartition.xml files.

    Under Windows 7, it is made by my CMD file that are Embedded in the modified WINRE.WIM file.

    I don't really care. I just wanted to know the reason.

    For now, we can keep it this way. If I find a super-fabulous name later, I will tell you :)

    It was "Windows 7/8 - OEM Recovery Partition Creator". You could also call it "Anatheros Recovery Tools - OEM Recovery Partition Creator". Too long?

    I don't understand your question.
    Is it:
    You only have one hard drive in the system and you want the tool to delete all of the data on there before installing Windows?

    My guess, in answer to this, is that you haven't set up the autounattend file correctly.
