Tripredacus Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 It could be the MBR that needs modification to find the hidden partition and recover the computer; I figured out that from DISKPART if you select the hidden partition as a volume, you can assign it a drive letter and then use ImageX to capture it. I now have to figure out how to restore the Thinkvantage MBR so that the F11 functionality that leads to the hidden partition and gives options to recover the computer will be intact.I have taken a break from working on that problem for right now. The network was recently re-organised and getting WinPE to work properly again had taken some time. We decided to stick with using Ghost for multi-partition images for now but perhaps I can look into this again in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJon Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Not sure if this will help at this point (7 years later). But find the caption or deviceID of the volume in wmic and use it instead of the volume letter. C:\Users\jwarren>wmicwmic:root\cli>volumeAccess Automount Availability BlockSize BootVolume Capacity Caption TRUE 4096 TRUE 255505461248 C:\ TRUE 4096 FALSE 314568704 \\?\Volume{1eefc47f-91b7-4a90-b6cc-9ef1d0db6f89}\ c:\imagex.exe /capture \\?\Volume{1eefc47f-91b7-4a90-b6cc-9ef1d0db6f89}\ e:\HiddenVolume.wim "bah" This also works in reverse c:\imagex.exe /apply e:\HiddenVolume.wim 1 \\?\Volume{1eefc47f-91b7-4a90-b6cc-9ef1d0db6f89}\ of course the likely hood of the new volume having the same caption is near impossible.
