After install of version 2.1.1, after I have installed drivers and updates, upon reboot, I get an error when it tries to scan the image. No error codes or anything, just a generic stop error. Any clue what could be causing this?
Ok, figured out that it doesnt seem to work properly with more than 1 physical hard drive, unless I missed something. Thanks for the great software!
Most of my installs are with multiple ssd/hdd's and I've found that sometimes the drivers are listed in the wrong order. ie, SSD is connected to Sata0, Hdd on Sata1, Hdd order is correct in bios but booting WinPE or windows setup, diskpart/diskmanager sees the drives as drive0 hdd, drive1 is ssd??? If I create a primary partition & make it active on the ssd then reboot, MS sees them in the correct order. I don't know why this happens sometimes...
Just installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview using the same autounattend for windows 7 w/ 3 partitions and going into audit mode. Worked perfect except I had to manually insert the technet key into the autounattend.XML(it complained it couldnt find a key.) Doesn't allow an install without a key on preview it seems. Anyways, went right to desktop/Metro style of administrator and was in audit mode. As for the person a few threads back who claimed it is coming with a wimre.wim file. They are correct. But the latest versions of windows 7 SP1 also came with a Wimre under windows\system32\recovery right out the the windows OEM install. These are all legit oem versions from my technet account. I had always used that winre when it asked for one in Windows 7 from the recovery creator, never had to make my own. I never even had to browse, it automagically looked in that location. So after the recovery creator did its business it generalize/rearm/keep drivers/ capture now it loaded everything fine in the command windows...restarted & booted right into winpe and captured! The WinPE background and font is a hair different but still the same Menus. Also the Windows Setup in general is almost the same. Except for the splash screen at the beginning has some sort of fish logo. Other than that the loading percentage part is identical. After the capture completed it dropped me back at the recovery menu and I restarted and bam right to the OOBE. I will try the different recovery options and let you know if those features from windows and booting using F7!
lol, seriously? Thats all I have to do? Just drop the files in the sources folder and change nothing?
So Trying to do recovery inside Windows 8 worked just the same. The Recovery Tools and Media Creator does show up under "all Programs" in the Metro GUI, but when clicked it drops you back to the desktop and then runs it in desktop mode. Obviously the program would have to be changed in order to run as an "app." Also I am noticing with the supplied winre.wim on the windows installation there is no mouse pointer in the winpe recovery. I've tried it on 3 computers. Not sure what is going on with that, but just something I am seeing with the setup I have apparently. Keep in mind I have changed nothing except the winre.wim file that is being used, and I consider that stock from the windows install! Just a quick update of what I am trying.....anyone else tried it at all yet??
Thats what your suppose to do right? You still have to create recovery partition and sysprep etc but yes, make a general iso with the $OEM$ and your apps etc installd and you're good..
Sir... How can i add 4 partition recovery in one hdd. one for Recovery Partition, one for System Partition, one for Windows Partition and one for Data Partition. I have add Data Partition to setting.ini. But after a have done all and do try to recover back my image i get 3 partition on my hdd Recovery, System and Windows Partition. Can you help?
You need first to create those 4 partitions and then choose not to remove any partitions just format them in the ini (I think)
I have recreate autounattend.xml for format 4 partition on my harddrive after i install windows. Now my harddrive have 4 partition and windows running on audit mode, i install any hardware drivers. When done installation i run recovery installer and succes to capture image. i try to recovery back, i hit F7 and run reinstall and success. Now Windows running in normal mode and i look in disk management only have 3 partition after i recovery back using reinstall option. What should i do? What scripts should to change? Please help? Thanks.
So you first created 4 partitions: 1: Recovery 2. System 3. Windows 4. Data After sysprep/capturing you only have 3 after the reinstall/Recover? You have to edit the ini to only format the partition. I cant remember all of it, if its deleted after restore or not.
I just cloned my drive and when i try F7 it hits a 0xc000000e error any idea on fixing this? Windows 7 boots ok just not the recovery partition.
Well...Thanks all for helping him. I just finished moving appartment and I was not able to go to the net for the past 2 weeks.
Yes. I do reinstall option it work, partition D: Data is not deleted. But i try to create USB Media Recovery and try recovery back and to other new laptop it not working. Windows not running properly and just hang it boot mode.
