Recovery & Backup Imagex

Image Solution After hours and hours of searching for a solution to there being no "Factory Image Restore" option, this is what I did to reset my own Dell laptop (should really work on any manufacturer) to factory original. Of course, be sure you have your documents backed up before beginning as you will lose everything. Assuming your recovery partition has not been damaged (if it has, microsoft imagex utility download this will not work) Download Hiren's BootCD from Download Hiren Burn Hiren's BootCD to a CD Put the Hiren's BootCD into CD Drive and Reboot computer Select "Mini XP" from the menu Double click on "My Computer" Identify the partition that you use for your operating system Right click on that partition and select "Format" to ensure a clean install Identify the recovery partition and go to the "Imaging" folder Right click on the "Imaging" folder and select "Command Prompt Here" At the command prompt type (substituting c for your particular recovery partition and e for the partition that you use for your operating system) imagex /apply c:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 e:\ After the image is successfully applied, close the command prompt. Close "My Computer" Remove Hiren's BootCD from CD Drive Reboot computer Your computer should now be reset to factory. And as a bonus, if you try and use the Dell DataSafe Restore it will be there now! Woohoo!

Disaster Recovery dell, factory, restore 51 Comments Recently someone gave me their Dell Mini 1018 that didn’t work.  It was Windows 7, so, according to Dell, the instructions to perform a Factory Restore were to tap F8 when the Dell logo appears and click Repair Computer imagex.exe download (BTW Windows XP is Ctl-F11 after you first turn on the computer).  This is great if

the computer boots into the recovery partition, but if it doesn’t you’re almost out of luck.  There could be 2 reasons why your computer

might not boot into the recovery partition, one is that you erased the recovery partition, in which case I think you may have to order the recovery CDs from dell and get an external CD drive or put the CD’s http://www.sevenforums.com/backup-restore/135785-no-factory-image-restore-choice-2.html onto a bootable USB stick. The other one is that for whatever reason the partition is there but the computer cannot boot to it. NOTE: These instructions will completely wipe out your data.  You should have someone who is familiar with installing and repairing operating systems. I take no responsibility for lost data or screwing up your computer any more than it already is.  I assume if you are performing these steps you are unable to even boot your computer into https://vinfris.wordpress.com/2012/04/18/restoring-from-the-dell-recovery-partition-when-the-repair-option-does-not-work/ Safe Mode.  If you need to get your data (pics, music) off first, a good solution would be to boot from a Ubuntu Live CD, click Try Ubuntu, and then copy all your files to a USB stick. Or if you can boot into safe mode (it will give you the option if you keep hitting F8 after the dell logo disappears) you can get your files off with a USB stick, copying to a network folder, or maybe burning a disk I will try to create instructions on how to do this in the near future and put a link here. One of the most important parts of this is to make sure that you have not wiped out your recovery partition. One way to figure out if you have the recovery partition is when you first go into the command prompt detailed in the instructions below, try typing in d:  and then type in dir.  it should say "Volume in drive D is RECOVERY" and display a couple of files. (if you want to see all files try dir /a) You will need to boot into recovery mode in Windows, you can do this using a Windows CD or a bootable Windows 7 USB stick, and getting to a command prompt, by clicking on repair your computer, and going to recovery options. I received these commands from the following site: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_install/dell-factory-image-restore-help/62fa4436-e2e0-4f8b-b9ab-f5b7f47be673 AGAIN THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING THAT”S CURRENTLY ON YOUR

I've built a boot.wim with WinPE 3.0 with automated scripts for partitioning and imaging. The main image is about 7GB and is located on a server. ImageX version 6.1.7600.16385 My problem is, when i deploy this image i get about 60% of the way and then i get: [60%] Applying (with verification) progress: 5:07 mins remaining [ RETRY imagex.exe download ] Restoring c:\blah blah blah\some file (Error = 64) [ ERROR ] c:\blah blah blah\same file (Error = 53) Error restoring image. The network path was not found. The system cannot open the device or file specified. I've tried a couple times and get this on different files between 50-70% complete. Looks like network is dying or something. So more info for you to think about: I have 3 local servers built running windows server error restoring image 2000 that work fine with same scripts and image (fciv checksum ran against all good and failing network server) The network server that is not working is running windows 2003 server and is controlled by my IT department. 1GB network connection and is a stand alone server (we also run virtual servers for other things but i told them i needed a dedicated server for this project) 3GHZ Xeon 4GB ram. I've put in a help ticket to my IT department and now im waiting. Maybe someone has same issue and can point me in the right direction? I do have remote desktop acces to server to make changes. But the It department controls the network im using. Thanks in advance :) Wednesday, July 27, 2011 6:38 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi, If the image is more than two partitions, it might happen when diskpart change the drive letters. As per the article It’s a limitation of win PE that drive letters don’t remain persistent. As a workaround we can write WMI script to make sure that the drive letters remain persistent in win PE session.
