You had better use the winre.wim that is in there already if you want to do the oem recovery. The "MeLe Fast Recovery Utility" in the original winre.wim will presumably find \windowsimage\install.wim ( or whatever the wim or swm or esd is called ).
I have never heard of MeLe Fast Recovery Utility. What machine is it from?
It is working off the clone. I will eventually clear the original and use it for miscellaneous files. Here is the results if the setreimage. It looks like I am good to go.
R:\Recovery>reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
Directory set to: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE
Here is the DiskGenius info.
In looking at the old drive there have been no file changes to the Windows directory since December 2nd which was when I did the install of the new drive and the clone of the old to the new.
1. I had to change "Secure Boot Mode" from "Standard" to "Custom". [This changes it to "User Mode"]
2. Then I had to "Restore Factory Keys".
3. Finally I reset "Secure Boot Mode" back to "Standard", then "Save and Exit".
It rebooted and I checked HWInfo. It now shows Secure Boot as "active".
Its a good thing I have a old USB mouse and keyboard laying around. My Bluetooth devices don't work too well in BIOS.
Hi,
You ever look to see how much free space is on this 9gb RE partition ?
Free minitool or disk genus will show used and free space.
Okay never mind I see it 467mb should be good for a little while
Being in front of C there's no way to increase it's size
Some times updates can lower the used space, sometimes it increases.
There is a 7.38GB "Install.wim" file in the WindowsImage folder. Manufacturers used to set up a separate partition for that. If needed I could probably remove that.
