Reagentc failed

NavyLCDR said:

What is the result of
reagentc /info

That wasn't included? My bad. It says "Disabled" with no RE Location:



When I run ENABLE it fails as shown the first time. The 2nd time, if you run enable right away again, it will say success, but it is still disabled.

The command you used similar to this:
C:\Windows\System32\Reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
doesn't work if there is no WinRE.wim in that partition (F:)
If you assigned (F:) you should see the partition in the Explorer like this:



If you run Notepad as Administrator you can check it:


Your should look like that. The above command adds the correct BCD-Entry.(recoverysequence and ramdisk)

You can run the following cmd command as well:
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim /index:1

Beside that, you have a Recovery partition of 6,64 GB (!) and 2 EFI-Partitions on your ThinkCentre!
The 128 GB disk would have been a nice OS-Disk and the 1 TB disk a nice storage disk!

Yah I Originally had non allocated space at the end of the drive, it's an SSD, I had about 40 gb unformatted. This was a fresh install where I tried to restore a backup image, but it failed and failed and failed and failed to restore, so i had to restore from within the new installation, and when you do that it onl;y restores your libraries, not your apps. I had deliberately. left the end of the drive unformatted, but after the install I had the 500MB winRE at the end. I tried to increase the size by only 500MB, but my decimal point was off within the app I used to resize, so it made that partition 60Gb instead of 1GB. Haha. I can resize that down to 1 GB can't I? KB5034441 is already installed there.

I will take a look for the WIM file a bit later, I unassigned the drive, I have to reassign it. It'll be a few hours, I'll come in here and edit this post or respond to a new one...

I don't see any 60 GB partition! Only 6,64 GB on ThinkCenter and 1,07 GB on Laptop!

Thats cos I resized it again, and I messed up my decimal point again.

Allright - HERE is why the command is not working, or why everything else is NOT working:



AND I had just ran Reagentc /enable again, and it SAID "success"

So, I am stumped more than stumped here.

That is from the Laptop, I guess.
Now run
reagentc /info

Edit:
The result please!

Groan, I already did that:

It's pretty much identical to the result I posted earlier
