CMD line BCDEDIT to point to winre.wim and Disk letter assignment
Now, i have already 'solved' this issue by installing a temporary copy of Win 7 to the c:\ and using EasyBCD to add an entry to the bcd file, to point to winre.wim to run the HP Recovery factory software.
But I should be able to create the bootmgr file just with the command line bcdedit command , but no matter how many threads I have read here, and how many different options i have tried. I can't get the commands correct to create a working BCD file to point to winre.wim
The path to winre.wim is:
drive letter:\Recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim.
This brings me to my second question, DRIVE LETTER allocation.
I have read somewhere (on here?) that Diskpart often reports different drive letters per partition compared to what Windows Disk manager reports /sees..so what letter do we put in the BCD file?
As I said, i already have created a BCD file by installing Windows, but it is a long winded method compared to just booting from a WinPE stick and creating the BCD via command line.
Thanks
