TheReasonIFail Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 OK,So I'm trying to create an image with a hidden restore partition.Here is the layout:Partition 1: XOSLPartition 2: WinPE - set as being hidden from WinXPPartition 3: WinXP1st: I booted up from a WinPE CD and used diskpart to create the 3 partitions.2nd: Installed and configured XOSL on the first partition.3rd: I installed WinPE to boot from the HDD on the second partition.4th: Installed, configured and syspreped WinXP on third partiion.5th: Created a wim file of the Windows XP partition on the WinPE partition, setup a batch file to format then image the 3rd partition.6th: Quick formatted the 3rd partition.7th: Imaged the entire drive and put it on a WinPE disk.OK, so I formatted and reimaged the entire drive.I rebooted the PC and in XOSL, I only have one option to boot from and that's the recovery partition. I checked the XOSL setup and see that the "Windows" option is disabled, I assumed this was because I had formatted the 3rd partition so I didn't think much of it. I booted into WinPE and imaged the 3rd partition. After rebooting again, the second option to boot into Windows is still disabled.It's not a real big issue I can go in there and re-enable it, but it's just a little annoying.Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or is this just the way XOSL works?Thank in advance for any and all help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxamime Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The first thing you should do is download the new WAIK that came out on Feb 4 which comes with scripts for creating WinRe partitions. I have not used them but in reading over them I suspect they would make your life a lot easier with attempting to do this.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReasonIFail Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Actually, I downloaded it last night, but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.Edit*Do you know if WinRE has networking capabilities?

sn3ak Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 FYI, M$ rerolled the file. It is now dated today. I don't know what the differences are. It is the same url as listed above though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
