Acer Recovery Management - Recovery Windows to Factory settings

There should be no need to merge them. Winntsetup can apply an image from .swm files

Select the .swm file with the lowest number. Might just end .swm, and the next could be .swm2, etc.
Then it will show the available images in the dropdown ( mine shows all the windows images - your images will be named differently. If it shows more than one image - select the largest one )

If it reports any difficulties, that probably means one of the files is damaged.

Really? Went to the right Vista Forum? The one in the link at the bottom of this page?

Not that I'm suggesting you shouldn't ask here, I'm sure there's plenty of skilled and willing help available here

Hello, finally found the way to merge swm files in a wim file with imagex, I could not do it with Winntsetup. I found also inside recovery partition a winRE.wim file I applied to C partition after formating all the drive and boot. Surprise the process of recovery began immediatly. All is good now all the drivers and applications are installed. I have also copied the recovery partition to an external drive. Thanks for help. Problem solved and I've learned a lot of things these days because of you. Nice day. :)

Thanks for that.. Well, others have joined today so it's not clear why you can't.. I'll mention @z3r010 so he can take a look.

Anyway, looks like you're getting great help here.

@Bree If you click to Register at Vista Forums then this message pops up. You have to click on Log-in and register now. I joined 5 mn ago.

I've just clicked Log-in and got this. z3r010, the Administrator for both sites, will no doubt look into as soon as he gets my @ mention.



Clicking Register got your message, at first. After several further attempts I got a page saying Cloudfare was checking my browser, then eventually got this.



Anyway, that's enough diversion from the topic in hand. Let's leave it at that. There's enough information here for z3r010 to sort it out...

Winntsetup doesn't have a merge function. It is not necessary.
Winntsetup can apply from split wim files as I have posted repeatedly - I even posted pictures.

Glad you managed to sort it out in the end.
