Hi again @Pentagon,

Thank you for coming back to me :)

You are correct I took the wrong file but in the meantime, I also put WinRE.wim in the folder C:\Windows\System32\Recovery

Not also! ONLY WinRE.wim!
Did you download explorer++ from the link I gave you?
If you assigned the driveletter (R:) you see what is inside the partition.
Is there the Recovery folder?

Sorry for being wrong, this is not my daily job .... Thank you for your patience.

Well, I removed the wrong uploaded file and now I have in C:\Windows\System32\Recovery

- ReAgent.xml
- WinRE.wmi

I edited my ReAgent file with the correct offset and guid.

Now my recovery partition is hidden, but I still have access to it via DISKPART.

EDIT: I have Explorer++ but it doens't show me my partition newly created which is R: (hidden)

@Database
You have to assign a drive letter first!
diskpart
sel disk 0
sel par 4
assign letter=R
exit
If you have a drive letter go to these steps

mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\boot.sdi R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
Rightclick on explorer++ and run as admin
You should see the files now

P.S. Is there a limit with the images on the forum ? Can't upload anymore...

By the way Explorer++ is a great tool, thanks for letting me discover it :)
