    You need to setup winre before you sysprep. If you run reagetc /info /target w:\windows (or whatever the command is) then you'll see Windows has moved it to W:\blah\blah folder already....

    abort installation , and try to refresh installation menu inside windows an it WORKS.

    refresh : work.

    Just install your required drivers and what appz you need... when you restore your OS from recovery mode your installed drivers,appz will restore which you installed in audit mode after recovery complete your OS will be refresh like you install windows first time :rolleyes: When you install all things run the basic version 1.3.13 for 32bit OS you click on x86 and 64bit AMD64 .... For further guide read documentation :)

    Tnx for you continuos support :worthy:

    Two simple question:

    1. It's possible to manage the script so after the computer reboot in audit mode, I had the install folder on the desktop?
    2. Ther's any way to "edit" the boot phase so I can chose if I want to boot with the AutoUnattend mode or the "normal" mode (the normal mode for me is without the recovery function)
    In this mode I can put all the file together on one cd :)

    I just used the new package .13 on my dell n5010 since my warrenty is over....I did notice something but dont know if you can hide it....the recovery partition is visible in windows disk defrag.....so is system for that matter.....will it corrupt those partitions if someone defrags system and recovery partitions? Thought I would ask. If it doesnt matter then I dont care just was wondering. If it can cause issues then how can a user protect their computer from corruption (like if their kid gets on it and defrags, lol)? Happy holidays to you by the way.

    Can't hide it since it is still a Windows partition. Partition also shown in the system recovery (system protection).

    Hey guys!
    I am trying to create recovery partition which don't work anymore after I installed windows 8.

    I have asus laptop both operation systems windows7 and windows8.

    I read the instructions and i didn't understood few of them.

    2.2 Preparing the USB drive
    1. From the “AutoUnattend” folder, under either the “GPT” or “MBR” folder, copy the
    “AutoUnattend.xml” file to the root of an USB key
    2. From the “Settings – Examples”, under either the “GPT” or “MBR” folder, copy all files to
    the “Settings” folder
    3. Run the “Update_Settings.cmd” script
    4. Copy the configured package to the USB key or the installation CD

    I copied all files and folders of Windows 7 Recovery Tools folder to my kingston usb disk.

    2.3 Installing Windows
    1. Connect the USB key to the target computer and start Windows installation
    2. Select to install Windows

    I connected usb disk and received "insert boot disk and press any key" notification.

    Where should I install windows 7 and windows 8 from dvd or from usb? Do I have to reinstall them? I have important datas on hdd should i backup up them? How should i procceed? I will be greatfull If you could reply. Thanks for help.

    I need help using RECOVERY TOOLS 2.0.0.EXE

    To Anarethos and anyone else who can help:

    I am new to this Furum and my first post to this forum is a question.

    I was trying to create an OEM Recovery for my Lenovo G550. using, "Anarethos Recovery Tool 2.0.0 Final
    How to use Recovery Tools 2.0.0 Final", everything went smooth until I got to, "Step 6: Installing Recovery Tool 2.0.0. Final", I had installed the Tool to desktop that also had WAIK installed. I copyed the folder which contained "Installx86" and pasted it in my C:\Program Files). then I clicked "Installx86 and browsed to WinRe Source which was in my System32/Recovery.

    The tool did its stuff except for one Error "Description of the files cannot be found" that I was unable to tell what caused it. when the computer restarted, it rebooted asking me to create an image for it. It ticked the yes option and it did not last for more than 2 Seconds. then it opened the Main Menu window. from there I rebooted the system to finally create my new user but nothing happened. It kept booting to Recovery tools.

    Please help would be very much appreciated.
