    I have a question, if i'd like to enable "copy profile" to import the default profile of win 7. Is there's any way you can enable this function? Or let me add it in the Unattend files?

    thx

    Is there any options in the basic version to reinstall the OS without saving old files? if not can it be added please? or can you make the ORIGINAL VERSION compatible with uefi/GPT? thanks

    Hi

    I did exactly all the steps but there is a problem.
    I installed a few application such as firefox, google chrome, km player, Nero... before capturing...

    I formated Drive C and Reinstalled the windows from recovery.. it went well but when the desktop appeared my applications was not there..
    firefox was okay.. the icons disappeared.. kmplayer was listed in Installed application but no Icon and no shortcut in startmenu

    what did I do wrong?

    The basic version use the built-in Windows tools, so I can't prevent keeping the old file.

    There is a FullRestore.Cmd file in the Windows folder. Using this one will restore the computer completly and delete everything.

    Sorry for the DL problems. I had a problem with my router and my server was unreachable for 2 days :(

    Should be up and running fine now.

    The recodery disk use a custom installation software. There is no support for AutoUnattend file, as the recovery disk is specific to a computer for which it has been made.

    You can modify the XML file in the Script-MBR or Script-GPT folder.

    Don't forget to add it to both the x86 and AMD64 section!

    Personnaly, I never got any great results with the copy-profile options, but you can try by yourself.

    good luck!
