    Move folder to your the root of your c:\ drive....make sure under folder properties that it does NOT say read only...if so then uncheck it and apply. Try running script again as admin. Let us know how it turns out. ;)

    tried but not succeed..may be i can do wrong
    can you tell me which folder to move in C:\ and which folder properties i have to change. If i uncheck (read Only attribute) "Setting" Folder properties and click ok after a refresh its automatically check the Read only attribute.

    Did you also include the imagex.exe's?

    Also did you just click the cmd file or did you run it from cmd prompt? It needs to be ran from cmd prompt.

    in windows 7 ISO, there is an andministrator user, but not in windows 8 ISO, so the drag and drop idea is a little useless.

    i want to be able to install windows 8 on a PC and inside audit mode what the installer file on the desktop in front of me.

    also is there any good multi - installation sofware to install anti-virus ect after audit mode closes.

    Once you've setup & captured from Audit mode, Just setup your apps/antivirus & activate.
    Then boot into the recovery, open the command prompt, delete the current install.wim & create a new one.
    Code:
    del R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Install.Wim
    Dism /Capture-Image /CaptureDir:W:\ /ImageFile:R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Install.wim /Name:"Recovery Image" /Compress:max
    Where R: is your recovery drive & W: is your Windows drive...

    Will this work with an SSD and HHD?

    The SSD will have the recovery tools set up with 4 partitions. The second HHD will store [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Documents, Pictures, Movies, and Music on the larger storage drive since access time is not so important.
    For each folder I would move the location in the folder properties from the SSD to the HHD. That's how its set now. Would be nice to have the recovery option added to the SSD.

    Just not sure if refresh and reset would have issues since it won't be changing anything on the HHD? Just might need to redirect the folder properties to the HHD each time.

    You can't.

    My Tools requires Windows Recovery Environment, which is not available for Windows Server edition.

    Windows, the recovery image and the recovery Tools must be on the same drive.

    When you will be restoring Windows, only the drive containing the Windows partition will be affected. If your data are on another drive, you will be safe.

    Still, the best way to be sure is to test four yourself.

    If you are using Windows 8 and use the reset option, dont' use the "clean up my drive" option. I am not sure if you data will be kep otherwise.
