Hi Experts,
Kindly help if some one can.
I have done a complete reset on windows 8 from a USB recovery disk.
While trying to boot ,system didnt allow me to do image recovery,system restore etc...
After doing a google search,I have re partioned my disk using diskpart.
I have done all as per the following,got from google search.
===============================================
1. Boot up from the recovery USB drive and go to the command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, enter the following (note that this will give you a 150 GB Windows partition and a big user data partition; the data partition can be omitted if desired):
diskpart
select disk 0
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary size=300
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
assign letter="T"
set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
create partition efi size=260
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="S"
create partition msr size=128
create partition primary size=153600
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows"
assign letter="W"
create partition primary
shrink minimum=15000
format quick fs=ntfs
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery image"
assign letter="R"
set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
exit
3. Now you should be out of Diskpart but still at the command prompt. Copy the recovery images to the recovery partition. Your recovery USB will probably be drive C, and the images will be several install.swm files in the Sources directory. Copy them to drive R. Like this:
c:
cd sources
copy *.* r:
4. Apply the images to the Windows partition:
dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.swm /swmfile:install*.swm /index:1 /applydir:W:\
5. Copy the Windows RE tools to the Windows RE partition:
md T:\Recovery\WindowsRE
w:
cd windows\system32\recovery
attrib winre.wim -h -s -r [use this line only if the next line fails]
copy winre.wim t:\recovery\windowsre\
6. Copy the boot files to the System partition:
bcdboot w:\windows
7. At this point, Windows will boot up, but will look funny. You can now do a Reset Your PC without getting the message about a missing partition, and everything will be back to normal!
======================================================================
Successfully completed all steps But nothing happens. I'm not getting a windows 8 reinstallation screen at all..
Did I miss something ?
Thanks in Advance,
