    What did you configure?

    Reinstall with no antivirus or tweak any services (or be very carefeul with those)

    Just wow. I am immensely impressed. Great program, will save hours of hassle from useless (L)users. Looks really clean, and I was very impressed that it integrates into the windows recovery option on the F8 boot menu. Also, It appears to work correctly with DAZ' Loader. Big thumbs up.

    Oh guys, just as a thought, could all the commands required to create the correct partitions and recovery stuff be simply added to a batch file, and then run from the installation media? IE a usb stick?

    I'm thinking to create a batchfile for example like this...

    diskpart
    select disk 0
    clean
    create partition primary size=12000
    firnat fs=ntfs quick label=Recovery
    set id=27
    assign letter=R
    create partition primary size=300
    active
    format fs=ntfs quick label=System
    assign letter=S
    create partition primary
    format fs=ntfs quick label=Windows
    assign letter=C
    exit
    exit

    Does anyone see why this wouldn't work?
    Obviously, you would have to be installing on the first disk, and the easiest way would be to be installing from a USB stick... but still, it should be possible?
    Whaddya think?

    i sitll think an update button is a good idea you you could add this.

    But the main reason im on today is to ask if there is a way to have the autounattend.xml file could work on the recovery DVD created but the tools

    ie
    create the partioins needed to install from a universal recovey disk

    also if there is away please post the answer of how to do it

    thanks in advance

    The only problem with the autounattend.xml, is that (correct me if i'm wrong) it will run every time I do an install. In some situations, I don't want to create a recovery partition.

    Then I suggest you use a usbstick to install W7 and everytime you dont want to create a partition, rename it.

    Ok, I have recompiled my EXE files. I think the problem come from the UPX compression. File is a little bigger now.

    I have also added the polish and the portuguese language :)

    I don't know if its been mentioned before so I'd like to report a minor bug. If you boot to AUDIT mode and don't close the system prep tool, then when installing the recovery tool, an error pops up that says sysprep tool already running. After this happens, the system reboots and captures the image as normal, but after the image has been captured and the system reboots, it automatically boots back to audit mode, not to normal mode where you enter the user name and info.

    I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere that you MUST close the sys prep tool, only that Tcntad said to close it because the tool will take care of everything. In the guide it doesn't mention that it will bug out if you don't close it.
    So perhaps it's worth adding some sort of check to the installer to make sure the sysprep tool is already closed?

    This bug appeared on windows 7 32 bit home premium, using VMware Workstation 7.1.4 build-385536

    Yeah not a bug, if you read documentation with the tool, it will say close sysprep.

    the tools will then sort out sysprep. before the reboot and recovery

    then when the image is taken it will boot into normal mode.

    yeeees.... as I said...
    Looking through the rest of the instructions.doc, I see the line
    The tone of this bit doesn't suggest that anything bad will happen if it's not closed.

    Nowhere is it mentioned that if you don't close it, it will bug. So, either the instructions need to be made more clear, or something needs to be added to the program to make sure sysprep is closed before install begins. Either way, its a bug.
