OEM Recovery Partition Creator for Windows

all i have to say is WOW ;p ok my pc crashed so i booted in to the recovery mode and then clicked backup blah blah and recovery and guess what on my C:\ was a BACKUP folder inside there was everything from my crashed pc

THANKS AGAIN your s**t rocks

 

I made an image and put it on usb stick It seems to be working well.


couple questions:
1) It looks like I can change the Recovery partition to different size. I know the image is going to be around 3.5GB. So is it safe to be 4GB?

2) Now that I made an USB stick. Do this stick can only recover to a system with exactly partition setup?
What exactly would this recovery program do to partition setup? Does it wipe out existing partition and replace with the system/recover/windows

3) Is this recovery approach SSD friendly? I am making an image for 64GB SSD drive in my tablet. Norton Ghost seems to have issues with SSD, particularlly when Ghost overwrites the previous partition table.

4) you need a donation button

 

let's say I make some changes in the Audit mode and want to create another image, do I uninstall and then reinstall the installer program?

>Answer 2: The software will delete all partition and recreate them as specified in the Settings.Ini file (12gb, 300mb, Everything else)
also, do I change the settings.ini in the installer directory or program directory to take effect of 4GB, instead of 12G?

 

I am trying a different setup and running into problems

My goal is to create a recovery disk for a system with 4 partitions:
Recovery 5GB
System 300MB
Windows 30GB
Data the rest

this is for a 64GB SSD in a tablet

here is my setting.ini:

[Settings]
Version=2.1.1
Languages=13
DebugLevel=0
DiskID=1
WipeUSBDVD=1
RecoveryPartitionID=1
RecoveryLetter=R:

I want to build 2 recovery disk.
First one will completely wipe out the system, including the data partition. This is for the initial install. (the setting.ini above is for this one)
Second one will wipe out all but Data partition. This is for later recovery. (I understand that I have to set wipeusbdvd=0)

I went through the process and noticed 2 things.
1) Something the installer would crash. And I have to run it again to get going
2) One I installed, it is doing the sysprep and then reboot into recovery. The system ask me if I want to create an image. I clicked yes and got an error message "An error has occurred, the process is stopped"
I checked both the System and Restore partitions and there is nothing in there.

please help.

 

thanks to create recovery part tools.

I add to prepare recovery win ori in HDD (include buy PC).

simple to prepare recovery win ori in HDD :
===============================

1. insert cd windows 7 n boot cd.
2. select repair and select command in dos:
+. input => diskpart => select disk 0
+. select the recovery partition => set id=07 override => set active.
+. exit diskpart n exit command dos.
+. reboot pc => remove win7 cd n boot in HDD.
3. please wait in the second minute n blah blah blah.. successful ori recovery boot in HDD.

not success in format full partition, because not found recovery in HDD.

successful n tested in (acer,asus,toshiba,..) by ME.

 

I noticed by running the installer again. It doesn't clean out the old image file in recovery partition before making a new one. Thus making recovery partition and the subsequent USB drive bigger than it needs to be. Currently, I have to manually remove the old image files beforehand.

 

The program works very well with standard. recovery/system/Windows
but I haven't figured out how to get recovery/system/windows/data working

After running it many times, the combination of unattend + simple setup works best.
I am going to help someone to set up for a non-English Windows 7 recovery disk.

Are you aware of any language related issue? I noticed the recovery cannot load some of the fonts correctly. I think there are 2, maybe the Chinese ones.

This program has been a life saver for us.

 

Correct. fix that by integrationg winpe-fontsupport languagepack for your asian language, that should work

Hello,
I find this utility really nice too
Does anyone can help me please, I try to implement this solution on my existing configuration with the details here
The first partition contains the WinRE (with a ghost the entire disk) solution that I want to just replace it with imagex
The second partition contains Windows
And the third contains the user profiles
I would therefore create a WIM file included with the three partitions in this way in case of disk failure the end user can reinstall the drive without worry.
In advance thank you very much for your help
Sorry for my English

 

Hehe I check the thread sometimes so I havent forgotten about you or your tool
