4 Windows Recovery

Environment

4.1 Post-factory Built Systems

For systems built using the default Windows setup, the Windows Recovery Environment will most

likely be configured using the in-box Windows storage driver. Since this driver does not support

Intel® Optane™ Memory volumes, the WinRE.wim file can be updated with an Optane™ compatible

driver in order to detect it. The following procedure updates the WinRE on a live system (while the

Windows* OS is running):

Note: Not all recovery conditions will be successful 100% of the time, not even on

nonOptane™ Memory enabled systems.

Open a command prompt on the desktop, and run the command: >\reagentc.exe /info

The output printed to screen will show where to find the WinRE.wim image file; the output is as

follows:

Windows RE Location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition2\Recovery\WindowsRE

disk0 : Indicates that the Winre.wim image file is on disk 0 (use diskpart list disk)

partition2 : Indicates that WinRE.wim is on partition 2 of disk 0 (diskpart select

disk 0, select partition 2)

Recovery\WindowsRE : Indicates the directory where the image file is located

On the second partition of harddisk0 (also known as the “C:” drive),there will be a hidden

“recovery” directory, with subdirectory “WindowsRE”. The “winre.wim” is located here.

Place all the drivers to be injected into an easily accessible directory

(Example: c:\ temp\drivers). After they have been moved into the directory, run the following

commands:

>\diskpart

>\select disk 0

>\select partition 2

>\assign letter=R

>\exit

>\md c:\temp\mount\winre

>\md c:\temp\drivers

“copy RST 15.5 driver files to the c:\temp\drivers directory”

>\dism /mount-wim /WimFile:R:\recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim /index:1

/mountdir:c:\temp\mount\winre

>\dism /image:c:\temp\mount\winre /add-driver /driver:C:\temp\drivers /recurse

>\dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\temp
