![]() ![]() ![]() To set the file Windows will use for a system reset: REAGENTC /SETOSIMAGE /PATH. To set the file Windows will use for a refresh: RECIMG /SETCURRENT c:/RefreshImage/Īfter having created the said image in that folder, with RECIMG /CREATEIMAGE c:/RefreshImage/Ī custom refresh image is a snapshot of current system files, drivers, and desktop apps, which you can use to "refresh" your system at a later time, if needed. To enable the Windows Recovery Environment (whic shows the repair options): REAGENTC /ENABLE Some more details about the Windows command I used. Thinking of it, maybe I am just going to copy it to a Blu-Ray disc! Now the factory reset file (10 GB size) is on hard drive, but I would like it on DVD too. As I understand it, boot is too fast!Īlso, I would like to be able to create Recovery DVDs with the ASUS factory reset image, just in case. The F8 and F9 keys at boot time still don't work, but after some googling I came to the conclusion that there is a general issue on Windows 8.1 systems with a SSD drive. On the ASUS web site there is a custom utility to make a recovery drive, too: "Backtracker". RecoveryDrive.exe (the Windows utility to create a USB recovery drive) starts too, while it didn't before.Īgain, I have not tested the thing thoroughly yet. Anyway, I can reboot to the Recovery Environment. At least they do start, even if I did not complete a reset or refresh till the end of it. The repair/reset/refresh options seem to work, finally. Now Windows "knows" about the Recovery hidden partition! To be more specific, it looks for the WinRE.wim file in that partition. UPDATE: Good news! Maybe I found a solution myself! The devil knows why, Windows Recovery was disabled! I managed to enable the Recovery Environment by using the REAGENTC command, see the switches on MS Technet web site (v=ws.10).aspx After pressing the F8 key repeatedly, I eventually got a 0x0000225 error at boot, which I managed to fix by rebuilding Windows BCD files. Like I said, I have no recovery or installation media, and can't find a way to create any.Īs to the standard Windows F8 key at boot, it has no effect either.Īctually it might have had one effect, perhaps. The Recovery Drive wizard, to create a recovery drive, fails too. RESET says it can't find any installation media. In detail, REFRESH says it can't find a recovery environment. I also tried the repair options in Windows 8,1 GUI - Charms menu - PC Settings. Problem is, on my system pressing F9 at boot does absolutely nothing. From there you should be able to reset or refresh your system if needed. Now I am not.ĪSUS doesn't provide any support disks, installation media or whatever, with this notebook.ĪSUS provides, instead, a recovery environment and the system image which is pre-loaded on some partitions ("Recovery" and "Restore") on hard drive.Īccording to ASUS documentation the recovery environment can be accessed by pressing F9 at boot. My goal is, well, to be able to reset or refresh or repair my system, when needed. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my first message.
