Thanks for this, but for my client, it would too difficult. Also, another way (the official M$ way in fact) is to create 3 partition like I do. When Windows start, we have to switch to AUDIT mode using SYSPREP. Then, we copy "C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.Wim" to "<RecoveryPartitionLetter>\Recovery\WindowsRE". Then we do the following command : reagentc /setreimage /path "<RecoveryPartitionLetter>\Recovery\WindowsRE" /bootkey 8500 Then, when the computer boot, we can access Recovery Environment through F11 or from the boot menu (F8). From there, we can restore the computer. This way take less space then the method you said (200mb for the WinRE Image compare to 3gb for the whole DVD). But, I preferred to use my method, since I am able to put password, browse file, add drivers, etc. I inspired my "kit" from the M$ way. But yours works perfectly also
Great work, will test again today, and yes the request for te next dvd was in a loop, lets see what v4 does today! Cheers
Ok, Installing 32bit version, asks if i want to add drivers x 2 times Captures all ok however after making the DVD Image (which is only 150kb) I booted from this and tried torestore the PC, it started ok and then prompted fo next dvd - So pressed Enter and continued to restore, well that was what i was thinking however it is still thinking about iit possible hung at this point? Ok restarted and the same issue - The frustrating thing now is that i need to re-install windows 7 as by trying to restore it runs diskpart - clean, so will re-install windows now and test for a 2nd time. - Ok this time all went well created a dvd size = 2749gb so looks promising maybe the issue was with "Virtual PC", will not test the recovery from the DVD - this time to a newly created hard drive within Virtual PC...
Ok, Same issue now with the Recovery is asking for the next disk, If i press ok it just pops up again...... Thats a shame...... ?
Hum... is, by any "chance" space in your username in Windows? Can you give me the full path for %TMP% ? (Open command prompt, and type echo %TMP%). I just saw that my "COPY_TO_DVD.CMD" script does not support path with space in it. I will correct it and post a new version later.
Also, can you check for the presence of the file HDDC.WIM in the WIM folder on the recovery partition? You will have to assing it a letter with DISKPART. Also, can you give me the content of the file FullRestore.DVD on the first DVD? This file identifies how many disk was needed for the restore by giving the name of the last file. I am currently tring DVD creation with UAC on (I made all my test using UAC off). Thanks!
Also, how much free space do you have on C:\ ? To create a DVD/USB key, you need 2.5times the size of HDDC.WIM. (The file is copied on the C:\ and then compressed, the the copy of the WIM file is deleted and ISO are created, then temp file are deleted). I can modify the script to compress directly from the original file on the Recovery partition, but this mean that the drive will be available longer to the user, which is not a good idea in my opinion, while copying the file locally take more time, but reduce the chance that the user mess up the recovery partition).
Ok, I modified the way the script create DVD. RAR files are created directly from original WIM file, not from a copy. It is faster and take less space on the C drive. Creating a USB key do not take any space on C drive. Filed a directly copied/compressed on the destination drive. Currently, I am unable to replicate the error you had.
Thanks and a few answers. no space in user name, available free space on c: is 45Gigs, UAC Off and also FullRestore.DVD.0
Nope, Got the same issue, makes the DVD 2.8Gigs and boots ok into recovery, but still askes for the next disk?
Since the value of FullRestore.DVD is 0, that mean my script is unable to identify the last file made. I will write a version on my script which will write a log file. It may help me to understant what is happening. Thanks so much for your time btw! A "developper" is nothing without beta-tester
To help me understand what is not working, I would like you to edit the file COPY_TO_DVD.CMD that is in the following folder C:\Program Files\System Recovery Media Creator Then, replace the whole content of the file with that Code: @Echo Off SET LOGFILE="%USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\DEBUG.LOG" IF EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY" ECHO Recovery folder exist>%LOGFILE% IF NOT EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY" ECHO Recovery folder does not exist>%LOGFILE% ECHO Current path is : %CD%>>%LOGFILE% ECHO Current TMP value is : %TMP%>>%LOGFILE% ECHO *****************************>>%LOGFILE% SET LASTFILE=0 RD /S /Q "%TMP%\RECOVERY" MD "%TMP%\RECOVERY" XCOPY ".\FilesDVD\*.*" /sevhky "%TMP%\RECOVERY" DISKPART /S Mount.txt ECHO Content of the recovery partition>>%LOGFILE% DIR /S /A "R:\">>%LOGFILE% ECHO *****************************>>%LOGFILE% MD "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1\FILES\WINPE" MD "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1\FILES\WIM" XCOPY /SEVHK "R:\WINPE\*.*" "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1\FILES\WINPE\" ECHO Content of the recovery folder>>%LOGFILE% DIR /S /A "%TMP%\RECOVERY">>%LOGFILE% ECHO *****************************>>%LOGFILE% ECHO Compressing file>>%LOGFILE% RAR a -m0 -rr -v3145728 -vn "%TMP%\RECOVERY\TEMP\HDDC.R01" "R:\WIM\HDDC.WIM" ECHO Content of the TEMP folder>>%LOGFILE% DIR /S /A "%TMP%\RECOVERY\TEMP">>%LOGFILE% ECHO *****************************>>%LOGFILE% FOR /D %%I in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) DO ( IF EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY\TEMP\HDDC.R0%%I" MOVE "%TMP%\RECOVERY\TEMP\HDDC.R0%%I" "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I\FILES\WIM" ) ECHO Files has been moved to destination folder>>%LOGFILE% ECHO Content of the folder>>%LOGFILE% DIR /S /A "%TMP%\RECOVERY">>%LOGFILE% ECHO *****************************>>%LOGFILE% ECHO Attribute of FullRestore.DVD>>%LOGFILE% ATTRIB "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1\FullRestore.DVD">>%LOGFILE% ECHO Current LASTFILE IS : "%LASTFILE%">>%LOGFILE% FOR /D %%I in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) DO (IF EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I\FILES\WIM\HDDC.R0%%I" SET LASTFILE=HDDC.R0%%I ECHO Now checking for the file : HDDC.R0%%I in the folder %TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I>>%LOGFILE% IF EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I\FILES\WIM\HDDC.R0%%I" ECHO The file exist>>%LOGFILE% IF NOT EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I\FILES\WIM\HDDC.R0%%I" ECHO The file does NOT exist>>%LOGFILE%) ECHO %LASTFILE%>"%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1\FullRestore.DVD" ECHO Last file value (new) : %LASTFILE%>>%LOGFILE% ECHO Content of FullRestore.DVD>>%LOGFILE% TYPE "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1\FULLRESTORE.DVD">>%LOGFILE% ECHO *****************************>>%LOGFILE% OSCDIMG.EXE -o -LDISK1 -n -Betfsboot.com -m "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1" "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1.ISO" RD /S /Q "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK1" FOR /D %%I in (2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) DO (IF EXIST "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I\FILES\WIM\HDDC.R0%%I" OSCDIMG.EXE -o -LDISK%%I -n -m "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I" "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I.ISO" RD /S /Q "%TMP%\RECOVERY\DISK%%I") MD "%USERPROFILE%\DESKTOP\Backup" MOVE "%TMP%\RECOVERY\*.ISO" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Backup" RD /S /Q "%TMP%\RECOVERY" DISKPART /S UnMount.txt EXIT Save the file and start the creation of the DVD set.

Problem found! A R I C:\Users\orm\AppData\Local\Temp\RECOVERY\DISK1\FULLRESTORE.DVD The file FULLRESTORE.DVD is READ-Only, so my scritp is unable to write the last name of the file in it. I will modify my script to fix that in the next version. Are-you installing my script from a DVD/CD or a read-only location or what? In the mean time, if you want to test, simply delete the following file from the computer BEFORE starting the DVD creation process : C:\Program Files\SYSTEM RECOVERY MEDIA CREATOR\FilesDVD\DISK1\FullRestore.DVD Thanks then, it sould works.
Here is more information how to make my package work with multiple partition To work, my packge need you to comply with this partition configuration : Code: Partition 1 : Recovvery partition, 12gb Partition 2 : System (bootable) partition, 300mb Partition 3 : Windows partition The recovery tools can also support partition after the Windows partition. They will be completly ignored. So, you can have the following configuration without any problem. Code: Partition 1 : Recovvery partition, 12gb Partition 2 : System (bootable) partition, 300mb Partition 3 : Windows partition Partition 4 : Data Partition 5 : Music BUT, IF YOU PLAN TO USE THE DVD/USB KEY RECOVERY, YOU MUST MODIFY 2 FILES, OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING ON YOU DISK, ON ALL PARTITIONS! Edit the following 2 files BEFORE INSTALLING THE RECOVERY TOOLS: Code: <PlatForm>\<Language>\Scripts\Custom\FullRestore\HddPrep.txt <PlatForm>\<Language>\Scripts\Custom\FullRestoreDvd\HddPrep.txt Currently, these file delete all partition from the primary disk, then create 3 partition (Recovery, System, Windows). You will have to modify them to NOT DELETE partition, but just format the RECOVERY, SYSTEM and WINDOWS partition. Also, letter R must be assigned to the recovery partition, S to the System partition and W to the Windows partition. Here is how to make it work with my second example (5 partition): Code: SELECT DISK 0 SELECT PARTITION 1 FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK LABEL=RECOVERY ASSIGN LETTER R SELECT PARTITION 2 FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK LABEL=SYSTEM ACTIVE ASSIGN LETTER S SELECT PARTITION 3 FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK LABEL=WINDOWS ASSIGN LETTER W This will delete the content of the Windows/Recovery/System partition without touching other partition. But this will also prevent the DVD/USB recovery media to works on the computer is you have changed your hard-drive (no partitions on it). You will have to create your partition by hand before starting the recovery process. Hopw it is more clear now
