To the extent you need clarification concerning my request below, please read from about post #35 in this thread to the point where the discussion provides sufficient illumination.
Briefly, ESD-TO-ISO works on pre-Win8 installations. I have been unable to get it to work from Win8 Pro (i.e., it will not produce an ISO from ESD files on my installation). Having it work from Win8 Pro would be a good thing since one might need to create a 64-bit ISO with UEFI support prior to reinstalling Win8 Pro. I can't tell if the not-working-from-Win8 Pro phenomenon is idiosyncratic to my machine or not.
I am hoping to persuade a few others to try using ESD-TO-ISO from their Win8 Pro installations to see whether or not it works. I would greatly appreciate your help. You can get ESD-TO-ISO via option 2 in Windows 8 Upgrade ISO - Download or Create. If you don't have your ESD files, then one way to get them would to be to use option 1 in the tutorial.
If it won't work for your, then conjectures about why not would be appreciated. As indicated, all help greatly appreciated.
