    AnarethoS: Thank you for your great software.

    How do I take out the green check mark for Generalize when we run InstallX86.exe or InstallAMD64.exe?

    By default I don't want the Generalize option checked. Is that possible?

    I have been using a Generic Image on a USB flash drive for awhile. Works on most PC's just great. But many newer/high-end motherboards wont restore. When I boot to the USB key, the first message I get is "create system image now", obviously I dont want to create an image, I am trying to reinstall> then when I choose reinstall, it says there is no image file. ANy help on this. I have tried many things, removing all optical and HDD's and no change. The only thing that I can do on these systems to recover is to use the very same image but from burned DVD's. Works everytime. But no luck with USB. It seems something is not detecting in the right order. Normally the USB drive is letter "g". But in this system it is always "c". Please respond and I can get you more info...?

    Are these computer using USB 3? If so, WinRE/WinPE doesn't have any driver for them. Try to use a USB 2.0 port. Is none are available, you wil have to add all USB 3.0 drivers into the Recovery Environment, either by using DISM or by recreating a new image and using the option to inject drivers.

    I believe the 12000mb partition you created is far too small to create your recovery datas, try creating a 24000mb and 600mb partitions and change the setting.ini to 24000 and 600mb, it is like you have many programs installed,hope this works.

    they do have USB 3, but I am not using those ports. The USB recovery stick works on tons of MB's fine. When I get another one to install, should be soon, I will do debug mode and keep an eye on when it assign's the drive letters. It seems to be a problem with that. I wont jump to conclusions before I test it out though.
    I do love this program, we build about 30 pc's a day. I use a fresh install USB key(windows only with the 3 partitions and then capture when drivers are installed). I also have a 2nd USB generic recovery with installed programs, then I install drivers and capture. Just wanted to say your program makes life pretty easy for my techs, very little time spent and almost no time settings up Windows itself.
    Just need to figure out these few machines it doesnt work on, and I'll be the happiest guy!! I'll let you know what I can find out.

    Can someone explain to me what the difference between the original version and the basic version is? and what is the advantage of one over the over?
    do either of them add the option in the windows recovery(repair my computer) menu to restore? if not, is it possible to do so?
    what does it mean in the documentation that if you restore using basic version, it won't be completely identical to the image stored??(isnt that the point of recovering to an image? that its identical to that image?)

    How do I? change the access key? from F7 to SHIFT+F10 ( the standard acer restore access key for laptop - i've totally removed the acer oem partitions) F7 and F8 boot options work fine, just want to change the way your recovery tool is accessed T.I.A

    The FULL version use custom menu not made by M$ for the recovery environment. It also replace the official Recovery Environment by a modified one that allow restore of the computer. This version allow you to create a DVD/USB media to recover the computer. You have to download M$ WAIK to obtain some files.

    The BASIC version use only M$ stuff. It allow only local recovery. To create a DVD/USB media, you must rely on Windows Backup functionality. The Recovery Environemnt is not modified and is the M$ Original one. This is easier to use if you have boot problem or just want to go back to a system snapshot. This version does not require you to donwload the M$ WAIK. Finally, as for the "original" image, BASIC version restore, like the FULL, a 100% identical image to the one capture. The only difference is that you can not chage language on a multi-lingual image if not using Ultimate. Also, there is no way, with the BASIC version, to tell Windows to no keep previous files on the Windows.Old folder.

    On the BASIC version, no. The boot partition is not touched. On the FULL version, the MBR is rewritten, so yes, the bootloader will be deleted. Best to use a script on first boot (SetupComplete.Cmd) to have it automatically installed for you.

    - You can only use F1 to F12 keys and no aother combination (like CTRL or ALT) to boot the recovery partition.
    - You can not change the key mapping once installed.
    - In the BASIC version, the instruction explain how to set the boot key
    - In the FULL version, you will have to edit following file to change the boot key
    Code:
    <UnZipPath>\Installer\RecoveryEnvironment\Recovery\Files\SetREKey.cmd
    
    Then, replace the following code
    Code:
    0x4100
    
    By one of them
    Code:
    F1 = 0x3b00
    F2 = 0x3c00
    F3 = 0x3d00
    F4 = 0x3e00
    F6 = 0x4000
    F7 = 0x4100
    F9 = 0x4300
    F10 = 0x4400
    F11 = 0x8500
    F12 = 0x8600
