    Thanks. You are the best of the best. I cannot believe how many times Microsoft has messed up my recovery partition. You have taught me more than I want to know about windows.

    Very good video, I solved my problem and I also found out that you can attach custom (bootable?) images to reagent. For example, I attached my MS-DaRT bootable image and now I have all the DaRT tools directly in the RE without having to boot from an external USB or DVD every time. I tested every functionality and it all works flawlessly, the integration is perfect. So people, if you have an ISO of MS-DaRT (you can make your own for free, there are plenty of videos explaining how), definitely replace the default RE with it. It's miles better and everything works fine. As I said, good video, too.

  • Muchas gracias por haberte tomado el tiempo de hacer y subir esta información. Me ha servido mucho y resolví el problema. Usé 7zip para extraer el archivo que faltaba por alguna razón. Muchos 👍🏻 éxitos. Thank you for this tuto.
  • Hello, I installed a SSD and for some reason it created another recovery partition and now the original won't work. Edit: I have two recovery partitions on disk 0, "hard drive", one is part 1=450MB and the other is part 5=509MB. Which one do I choose?
  • @JuniorBedin
    Man I cant express enough how much I appreciate that! Really I could give you a kiss. Thank you very very much.

    When doing a reagentc /disable the Winre.wim is not mooved to c:\windows\system32\recovery folder. I disappears from the recovery partition, but goes somewhere else. Where?
  • Will the build of the Windows ISO file that is newer from the current Windows build be fine? (For example, the difference between security/quality/feature/cumulative/version updates.)
  • @mab873
    Now I get the error 3bc3 after using reagentc /enable. What sould I do?
  • @ChRaja-qk9kw
    I accidentally deleted recovery partition. But by watching your videos I could recreate recovery partition and mounted win file as per procedure described in video. Thanks a lot.

    You are truly great at understanding and solving windows related issues. I faced some problems after deleting my recovery partition and without your assistance, it would have taken me down the path of reinstallation. My only question is whether the index 1 that you used would have different recovery file relative to other indices (read other windows versions)? Thanks again for your help.

    Hi, I clone my old SSD to the new One and then formated the old one. Now, I am trying to do a PC reset but it is not working. I had done it once on old SSD. What should I do?
