Partition 4 = Volume 3 = Drive R = the newly created Recovery partition

@Kyhi
I have just mounted my Windows ISO file and copied the following file into R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim

G:\sources\install.wim\1\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim

What should I do next? Run REAgentC /enable or run the following command?

Code:

REAgentC /SetREImage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE

Should I firstly copy ReAgent.xml into R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\ReAgent.xml?

R is not hidden.

Code:

PS C:\Windows\system32> PS C:\Windows\system32> REAgentC /enable
REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

PS C:\Windows\system32> REAgentC /info
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration
Information:

    Windows RE status:         Disabled
    Windows RE location:
    Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 562f507e-413a-11eb-bfdb-e0d55ecc65a3
    Recovery image location:
    Recovery image index:      0
    Custom image location:
    Custom image index:        0

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

PS C:\Windows\system32>

I am rebooting my PC.

After a reboot, it is still disabled. What should I do now?

Code:

Windows PowerShell

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\Windows\system32> REAgentC /info
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration

    Windows RE status:         Disabled
    Windows RE location:
    Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 562f507e-413a-11eb-bfdb-e0d55ecc65a3
    Recovery image location:
    Recovery image index:      0
    Custom image location:
    Custom image index:        0

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

PS C:\Windows\system32>

I right-clicked on the Start button -->Windows PowerShell (Admin) and run Reagentc /info


REAgentC /SetREImage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE

I just ran the above and REAgentC /enable and rebooted. It is still disabled.





What else can I do?
