    I know my file is working for three partitions. I can test for 4 partitions.
    And just send me private message.

    2.0.1 is out. Added Romanian and Dutch.

    Also, TCNTAD, I added your instruction document, as it is a real good step-by-step guide. Mine was more for "sysadmin" kind of people :p

    The dvd DL is fine to burn iso but it cannot boot because of winre is missing cannot load recovery. i had to threw away 8.5gb dl dvd disk in the bin. but dvd-9 up to 4.7gb is fine. but not working on the 8.5gb on dl dvd disk. I should have taken a snapshot photo of the boot screen messeage!

    Well, I never bought any DL disk, so this option was a guess. I will try to create a new file version that will burn the disk not in ISO9660 but in UDF format, it MAY work, but not sure.

    Is there any DL+RW available on the marker to test?

    I may just remove the option to create DL disk also...

    Based on this forums (and other I found on the net), it will be hard to make a good bootable DL DVD. I may try to find a way to move the "bootable" part from the DL disk, but I don't want to spend 10 DL disk trying to do so... :(

    1) Trying a new method for creating DL disk (the boot files will be in the root folder, so in the first layer of the DVD. WinPe can't boot when on the second layer).

    2) Update option. It will allow to recreate the WINPE file AND update the RecoveryCreator files (the new version will be copied in an Update folder on the recovery partition and will be replaced when restoring/reparaing the computer).

    Did you install any kind of antivirus? I also got the same (I think) error after capturing...
    When I wrote the guide, I syspreped a vm machine and it worked just fine.

    Well thats your problem:) You cant have an AV installed, if you will have that problem unfortunately.
    In audit mode you can have an AV installed but it needs to be uninstalled before installing Anarethis recovery tool.
    I iwll try to clear some more things out in the guide and highlight in other colors:)

    Your are totally right.... the guide mentioned it... my bad, but this time I make the same procedure and in sysprep Installed, Ccleaner, Foxit Reader, Quicksys Regdefrag, Snagit 10, TuneUp Utilities 2011, WinZip 15, Auslogics Disk Defrag, Auslogics Registry Cleaner, DVD-Cloner VII, FLV to AVI Video Converter, Franklin Access Manger, Ultra ISO, Your Uninstaller 2010, Youtube Downloader HD and ESET Smart Security 4... and registered all apps...

    And this time works perfectly, the only difference its, this time I do not run Ccleaner, Reg Defrag, TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance and do not Update ESET Smart Security 4 and this time disable it in Sysprep... (note: Not necesary to enable it again when system came up first time)

    Minor Problems found When system's up:
    Ultra ISO its not registered
    Franklin Access Manger (Have to relink shortcut)
    Have to create Missing Shortcuts of some installed applications.
    OEM LOGO in System Propertys its not diplayed.
    OEM Welcome Screen Missing (shows windows 7 original one)

    Beside the mentioned avobe everything fine, Windows is activated and OEM info Correct.

    Then for testing porpuses disabled some apps, created some errors, and left some apps in not working state then run the Recovery tool and.... Windows its up again and running perfectly:) thanks AnarethoS for this awesome app and tcntad for the step by step guide... I recommend this to everyone I added to my Must have apps Library...;)

    Note @ tcntad:
    The guide have a disclaimer in the first 3 pages(its easyly to pass by), okay but then in page 20 Step 5 you said and recommend to Install your favorite Antivirus and Update it :eek: Don't you think its contradictory? Here its a snap of it: View attachment 7592
