Recovery image index: 0

[RubyD]

Trying to create recovery drive in 8.1 and tutorials state include typing a command prompt that includes: INDEX:1
but in REAGENTC.EXE/INFO i get: Recovery image index: 0
Is it supposed to show 1? is the 0 index mean something is amiss?

Hello Ruby, and welcome to Eight Forums.

The tutorial below can help show you how to create a custom recovery image.

...or did you want to create a reset recovery image instead?

Thanks for the links, I have tried both but get errors at #6 where it says to type in INDEX:1, my pc has INDEX:0 so I think something is missing, after typing in command prompt in those tutorials, I get "error 87" and a message, so need to find out how to fix the index 0 problem first.

Are you using an ISO from OPTION ONE below?

I downloaded ISO from enterprise evaluation for 8.1, is that what you are asking?

This is what I am trying to accomplish.
Windows 8.1 - Unable to "Copy Recovery Partition" when building Recovery Drive? - KeithMayer.com - Site Home - TechNet Blogs
but get no success due to having index:0 is the problem I think.

Ah, ok. In that case use the command with the index as 0 instead of 1.
