Solved problems with setting up my own windows recovery partition

been trying to set up my own win recovery partition after deleting the first one. i've been using this guide :

https://neosmart.net/wiki/we-cant-create-a-recovery-drive-on-this-pc/

currently stuck on step 3. when i type "reagentc /setosimage /path C:\Win8.1" in the command prompt, i get a message saying "REAGENTC.EXE: The index of the recovery image (WIM) file must be specified."

wondering if anyone know what to do ?

if you used the create media tool the index is 1

Reagentc /setosimage /path C:\Win8.1 /index 1

the create media tool ? sorry im not following. maybe you could explain ?

what are you using for media ??

Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help

or a store bought DVD

the create media tool setup media only has 1 index > the MS DVD has 2 indexes

you only need to use the install.wim or install.esd as the registered OS image (the install.* is found in the "Sources" folder on the setup media)

i have windows 8.1 on a bootable usb, which im using, if thatas what you are asking ?
