Hi guys. I make my usb, make my Windows 8.1 Clean install with my software and updates. run Install - Windows 8 and 8.1.cmd and capture my WIM image, restart in OOBE, put my data and I have a Win 8.1 working. But when i use recovery tools or restore my windows installation in recovery mode say INSERT INSTALL MEDIA O RECOVERY TO CONTINUE. the only option is CANCEL. ¿Is necessary create a media recover? My Windows 8.1 installation is in Spanish, i'm form México, Sorry for the bad English. Ah!! I use Anarethos 3.0.0 Alpha 3 View attachment 33736 View attachment 33737
Just to clarify.....I bought a new Lenovo last week and as usual full of bloatware crap....I retrieved the serial from the bios.....So i can delete all partitions making a fresh install....and then using this tool to create a fresh recovery partition.
Thats what its for. If you have W8 (Which you do) you shouldnt need the key beacuse its embedded and will autoactivate.
Is the Windows 7 part broken? For Windows 8 this works fine, but I cant for the love of life figure out what I'm supose to do to run the "Update_Settings.cmd". Copied "\Desktop\Recovery Tools 3.0.0.A3\Windows 7\Windows 7 Recovery Tools\OscdImg\OSCDIMG.EXE" Copied "\Desktop\Recovery Tools 3.0.0.A3\Windows 7\Windows 7 Recovery Tools\ImageX\32bits\imagex.exe" and "\Desktop\Recovery Tools 3.0.0.A3\Windows 7\Windows 7 Recovery Tools\ImageX\64bits\imagex.exe" The Update_Settings.cmd errors out (run as administrator). Checked and doubble checked that I have the admin rights, no write protect, files not blocked... Even re-downloaded the package a few times just to be sure. No go at all. EDIT: Tested on a Windows 7 machine and all worked fine. Possible Bug, but atleast it does work.
Since the new updated win 8.1 update 1 iso's were released, is MBR support no more? Just thought I would ask since in new version only GPT is available.
Still supported via Windows 8 folder. Windows 8.1 is for WIM-Boot. Think touch pad etc. That being said there seems to be a bug hindering the scripts from running on my windows 8 machines. For setting the script up I need to use a Win7 machine. The install works fine still. In fact its running on a laptop beside me at the moment, happily deploying away... /Rab
I want to personally thank you Anarethos for including the Signing tool and required files. VirusTotal Results from the signed exe's is 0/57!
First of All thank you for such wonderful tool but i tried it for the first time and i don't know but its not working for me When everything completed successfully than i got the message system is ready for end user so when i pressed enter and rebooted the whole system went to boot loop its giving me the error and rebooting again and again P.s Em using Windows 8.1 with updates pre-installed and installed Chrome , office 2013 and antivirus VLC Hashtab etc etc View attachment 34250
Any app that uses users profile for installation will cause failure specially AV's. Audit mode is used mostly for drivers and such not applications that use user profile because it hasn't been setup yet.
ANARETHOS RECOVERY TOOLS with MEDIA CREATOR 1.3.15 & 3.0.0 Alpha 3 support 7/8 no win 10 post 2010 or year 2016 v4.0.5
