How to recover windows 8.1 from ESD image?
Hi,
I have problem with accessing my recovery image partition. I tried to change partition ID and to change WinRE location using reagentc command but no success or I skipped something.
Here is my situation.
I have Prestigio Visconte 1st generation tablet with windows 8.1 and office 2013 Home & Student.
Tablet has been upgraded itself to windows 10 which is not verified to be compatible with this tablet so I want to return to original Windows 8.1. I tried it using recover from system image from recovery enviroment but without success or I don't know how to do it properly. I can see in MiniTool Partition Wizard that I have RecoveryImage partition with install.esd file and two recovery partitions sized 300 and 450 MB. I think that 450 MB partition belongs to Windows 10 and that 300 MB partition belongs to original windows 8.1.
Here is what reagentc /info shows:
and what diskpart says:
and this is what MiniTool says before I tried to change WinRE location:
Now it shows that 300 MB partition is almost empty. I made .img file of this partition from gparted in linux before I started to mess with reagentc.
And at last this is what Disk management says:
Maybe I can re-create Reagentc settings from begining but I don't know how to do it without loosing recovery image.
I am open to any suggestion.
