Ok update status, Removed the /generalize from the sysprep settings int the install script, this appears to work ok. competes and contiues with oobe setup as would be expected. create recovery media works from within windows allowing me to create media from recovery partitio. however unable to access the recovery partition directly from boot. any help here would be great. ta
as far as recovery partition showing that is because you didnt run tests first and then run the Full Restore.cmd.....you should always do tests to make sure everything works.....after running Full Restore.cmd the Recovery partition will be hidden. Now with accessing the recovery partition from boot, did you change the boot key from original? I changed mine to f11 and it works. If try to access via usb then check your boot options and change so that usb will be first boot device.
If you remove the Generalize, Windows will not activate the recovery image. You will have to type "REAGENTC /ENABLE" in the command prompt to activate it.

Good Morning I have a strange issue with the recovery tool, after WinRE Capture Windows 7 Image, in oobe mode when i create the usb recovery media i don 't have windows image on the usb, same problem with Windows 8.
@ jeyak, You need to be on main desktop not audit mode for it to backup image correctly to usb. Works on win7 for I dont have win8 to test on.
Code: Il volume selezionato non dispone di lettere o punti di montaggio da rimuovere. I see the letter is already removed, but everything else seems OK (no error for the recovery partition or disk number). Probably a software/drivers during OOBE that has a "lock" on the recovery partition and prevent my script to unload it. On my side, on various computer, everything is OK. I can't see what else I can do. You may try to edit the Install.Cmd script thas is responsible to create the Hdd.Txt file and add 2-3 more time the "REMOVE" command just in case you had multiple letters assigned to the same drive.
Now that you've mentionet it, I remember, at the 1st boot the drive don't have any letter, and I can't go in it. this's the traduction for the error Code: The currently selected disk is disk 0. The currently selected partition is the partition 1. The specified type is not in the correct format. For more information on the command type: HELP SET DiskPart ID setting of the partition is complete. The volume selected does not have letters or mount points to be removed. Maybe is the cd drive that take the letter?
Code: Now that you've mentionet it, I remember, at the 1st boot the drive don't have any letter, and I can't go in it. So, there was no letter assigned to the recovery drive finally?
So far i tested 1.3.10 in first boot the recovery drive visible but when u run restorecomplete.cmd after recovering from restorecomplete command the recovery drive automated hidden i don't understand this why recovery drive hidden in first place...??? And why after the restorecomplete command drive automated hidden ...???
when we reinstall windows in c:\windows.old this folder created automatically is that possible this folder auto deleted after windows reinstall completed..??? This not look original In your old version legacy this folder never created plz do some modification in newer version Future development Can u add the feature HOTKEY boot with ALT/CTRL/SHIFT +F1 to F12 That really coool if u add this feature in this tool .. B-)
Page 3 of documentation: Please note that Windows 7, opposed to Windows 8, does not gives you the option to do a full reinstall. Previous installation of Windows will be always moved to “Windows.Old” folder. If you want to completely erase all data and trace of previous installation, you can either use a recovery media created on the computer OR use the “FullRestore.cmd” script that can be found in “C:\Windows”. ONLY F1 thru F12 and those can be changed, changes are made in settingsRE.txt. I too would like some changes and have asked in the past but were told it can't be done NO combinations of Alt or Ctrl keys with F1-F12.
Yup i read all on page 3 but i thought may be in this newer version AnarethoS may allow this function
M$ bootloader don't allows for any combination of keys like CTRL or ALT. And sadly, I can't program in assembler to modify it so it can't be done by me....
