C:\Recovery Access denied
I'm trying to fix " Cannot create system repair disc "with this guide. I'm trying to copy winre.wim to recovery. When it asks if I want to replace and I press Yes, it says access denied.Open a elevated command prompt.
Type bcdedit /enum all
You will see an entry (probably several) that says C:\Recovery\(some long string)\winre.wim,(same long string)
Make the following directory based on the value (some long string) that is shown above. For example purposes only:
md c:\Recovery\0b3447fa-c429-11de-afd2-bdec487c77bb
If folder already exists, great :)
Insert your Windows 7 install DVD and cancel any autorun prompts. Assumption is that D: is your CD/DVD drive - change accordingly ;-)
copy d:\sources\boot.wim c:\Recovery\0b3447fa-c429-11de-afd2-bdec487c77bb\winre.wim (or just open in explorer and drag d:\sources\boot.wim to the folder on your HDD and rename it to winre.wim - this is the all important part!
copy d:\boot\boot.sdi c:\Recovery\0b3447fa-c429-11de-afd2-bdec487c77bb
copy d:\boot\bootfix.bin c:\Recovery\0b3447fa-c429-11de-afd2-bdec487c77bb
Remember, the folder "0b3447fa-c429-11de-afd2-bdec487c77bb" will probably not be the same on your machine...run bcdedit /enum all and find the correct name of the folder from the list (which will have "C:\Recovery" and "winre.wim" in the entry)
Ruin recdisc.exe and voila you can make your recovery CD/DVD ;-)
