Recover the Recovery partition on Asus N76VZ (Windows 7)

Hi,

Some times ago, I installed Windows 8 on my Asus N76VZ (originally Windows 7).
I don't remember why, I had to convert my disk and I loose all partitions but I succeed to backup the recovery partition.

Now I would like to sell the computer and use the recovery partition to backup the computer like the first day.

That's why I inform myself on the system. In the recovery partition I found the diskpart script, I used it to build the original state of the disk :

Code:

select disk 0
clean
convert gpt
create par efi size=200
format fs=FAT32 label="System" quick
assign letter=U noerr
GPT attributes=0x8000000000000000
create par msr size=128
create par pri size=307200 noerr
format fs=NTFS label="OS" quick noerr
assign letter=S noerr
GPT attributes=0x0000000000000000
create par pri noerr
format fs=NTFS label="Data" quick override noerr
assign letter=T noerr
GPT attributes=0x0000000000000000
shrink desired=25600
create par pri
format fs=NTFS label="Recovery" quick
assign letter=C noerr
GPT attributes=0x0000000000000000

Now, I'm trying the update the BCD, for now I have this :

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit.exe /enum

Someone which have the same system (Windows 7 with original Recovery partition) could give me his BCD ? For this, you have to launch the cmd as administrator and run the command "bcdedit.exe /enum" ?
I would appreciate a lot

If some one know how to do for boot on this partition, I would be nice to

Thanks !

 

You will need to boot to WinPE, and use IMAGEX to run deployment.
However, there may be scripts needed to execute the factory recovery properly.

 

WinPE seems to be the old system, it is an EFI boot now. So I would need to boot to winload.efi but I don't know how to add this option and if I need to add it to the BCD. That's why I ask to someone if he can show his BCD boot option.

 

WinPE has EFI support therefore it can boot to EFI-based WinPE.
Why not call ASUS and see if you can obtain a copy instead (fees may apply)? It might be easier than trying to figure out the commands they have used in their script.

 

I'm the kind of guys that like to understand how it's working

I would like to understand and do it by myself. But if I don't succeed, I will just download an official Windows 7 CD and install a fresh Windows.
