In order to backup any reagent.xml I had, and understand how it works, i saved different version of the file:
version 1
1.the one inside the USB recovery (recovery partition included)
2.the first one from the original installation inside c:\windows\system32\recovery
the same version 1 i found in System partition under these paths:
r:\EFI\ASUS\reagent.xml
r:\EFI\ASUS\it-IT\reagent.xml
and again same version 1 in the WinRE partition
r:\Recovery\WindowsRE\reagent.xml
after resizing my partitions, when easeus changed guid, the refres/reset function was not working (telling me to insert media and restart with that),
i did the setid and gpt attributes trick, http://www.eightforums.com/installation-setup/39197-unable-use-built-asus-recovery-partition-18.html
now my refresh/reset function works (to the point it says to proceed, but i don't know it will complete the procedure because i dn't want to refresh/reset now) so i copied my new reagent.xml wich is:
version2
and again i resized another partition and i have
version3
So i have few questions for the experts to better understand how it works and how to repair any mess:
1) Reagent.xml, wich is the one in use? c:\windows\system32\recovery ???
2) Changes from reagent.xml version1, version2 and version3 are
<WinreBCD id="{bed03ccc-c679-11e3-8942-d5007a7b2010}"/>
changed to <WinreBCD id="{8c401714-f289-11e3-be88-54271e20139e}"/>
<WinreLocation path="\Recovery\WindowsRE" id="0" offset="315621376" changed to <WinreLocation path="\Recovery\WindowsRE" id="0" offset="1393557504"
!!! but on diskpart detail partition i get 315621376
<ImageLocation path="\Recovery\WindowsRE" id="0" offset="315621376" no changes <ImageLocation path="\Recovery\WindowsRE" id="0" offset="315621376"
<OsInstallLocation path="\RecoveryImage" id="0" offset="728670142464" changed to <OsInstallLocation path="\RecoveryImage" id="0" offset="728671031296"
!!! but on diskpart detail partition i get 728679358464
So, what these changes mean? aren't there any incongruences?
Thanks
