I Upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 and Windows Recovery not work

[KYHI]

you can reset to factory if you follow my posts.. You do not need any backup media or storage..

Right Charm -> Change PC Settings -> Update and Recovery -> Recovery -> Advanced Startup ->
Restart Now -> Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> Command Prompt

type> diskpart
type> select disk 0
type> list volume
type> exit

Verify that H is the drive letter assigned to the recoveryimage partition and C is assigned to your windows partition

Because ONCE you enter DOS the drive letters tend to change, other then what was assigned in windows

Once you have verified that H is the recovery partition and C is the windows partition

type> dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:"H:\RecoveryImage\Install.wim" /Index:1 /ApplyDir:C:\

Dude you mess up the drive letters with that command - your screwed..
You can change the drive letters in the command to match the drive letters shown in diskpart for those partitions

Excuse me KYHI


(G is the USB 8G flash!)

This is true?
dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:"F:\RecoveryImage\Install.wim" /Index:1 /ApplyDir:C:\

 

[KYHI]

yes that is true..

 

[MasoudM]

yes that is true..

I do this:


And when restart laptop:




And I had to install a new Windows again
Where did I go wrong?

 

[MasoudM]

Anyone know where is the problem in my work?
I do it again?

 

[KYHI]

do you reinstall windows again? or is that where you are at

 

[KYHI]

insert your setup media and while on install screen - select startup repair (bottom left)

or you need to get back into command prompt...

insert your windows setup media and when you get to the install screen hit F10 - that will bring up a prompt
also usually after 3 power cycles if windows fails to load - recovery should get triggered - and get you to a prompt..

at prompt type> C:\Windows\System32\bcdboot C:\Windows

Thank you HYKI

After that error, laptop was reset again, and show error again and....
I was forced to install a new Windows 8.1 from DVD

Before anything I have a question
After َApply image, what should happen?

 

[KYHI]

After َApply image, what should happen?

PC should run through OOBE and User Account Setup

OOBE is Out Of the Box Experience, in case your wondering. If you manage to get the factory reset to work it should be just like it was the first time you turned it on after taking it out of the box it shipped in. I currently don't have any PC's with the OEM factory recovery partitions on them. I've done clean installs on them after replacing the factory hard drives with SSD's. At this point I can't really help you recover yours. I don't have a setup here at home to test on.

 

[KYHI]

Alpha.
create a small 4GB partition at end of drive, place setups sources\install.wim in it
register install.wim as recoveryimage

Do you know how to export drivers? using Dism..

That's one of those things I've thought about doing but just haven't bothered with. I haven't done anything with DISM, not yet anyway. I do believe there is a tutorial on how to create your own custom recovery partition. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/3610-refresh-windows-8-create-use-custom-recovery-image.html I may have a go at it sometime.

recimg -CreateImage C:\RefreshImage

it's just one command and a folder

 

[MasoudM]

Hi
I finally backup from all my data, And I have done factory reset.
I sincerely thank from "KYHI" and "alphanumeric" for help me.

I installed ASUS app and after those I upgraded to Windows 8.1
Now all thing's work properly

Now I want to make a "Recovery" or "Restore" point(or File) from all driver, setting, register and... from new windows before install my program(for use if windows will damage in future)
How I can do it?

 

[MasoudM]

I want to crate 2 partition in my HDD(by AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro)
What should I observe?

My Disk Is GPT, this is not a problem?

 

[KYHI]

go ahead and create your second partition after C which will your D - Data drive

then run this command

recimg -CreateImage D:\RefreshImage\Cleaninstall

then everytime you want to make another backup image just change the last part to a new folder name -

recimg -CreateImage D:\RefreshImage\Cleaninstall
recimg -CreateImage D:\RefreshImage\folder1
recimg -CreateImage D:\RefreshImage\folder2
etc

Here is a utility that will manage and create your refreshimage(S)
RecImg Manager - Backup & Restore for Windows 8 and Mobile Devices!

Thank you KYHI

After reset a laptop, Restore partition has been deleted.(20GB with 16GB data)
And a drive called "Recovery image" instead of which it is made.(with 13.8 GB data)
Why is the way?

 

[KYHI]

because the Partitions where resized by the Bare Metal Reset Feature.. It removed your production line folders and resized the partition to just the recovery image size.. It did what it should have.. And you gained a little free space..

 

[MasoudM]

...It removed your production line folders...

This folder are for what?
Does not have a problem with them being deleted?

 

[MasoudM]

Startup windows speed problem not solved!
before welcome screen, black screen display 10-20 seconds

Should I post this problem in other Topic?
