Syprep/Image X procedure 'not recognised command in cmd prompt'

You are exporting the contents of your system registry hive to a registry file.

A registry file has the .reg extension.

Kaktus wants to look at that .reg file.

Simply post it up here.

If you look in your Windows \System32 folder , you will find tempkey.reg there.

Actually not all of your command lines were successful this time.

The middle one was not.

Here is the screen shot

Hi SIW2

Thank you for trying to clarify.

Now I understand.

Dear Kaktussoft and SIW2, I have looked in the windows>system 32 folder and there is no tempkey.reg, or indeed any tempkey.

Again I've enclosed a snapshot to show you the search. Please see in the bar above that it is the results from that folder.

I've looked manually too, and it goes from te......to.......tf........without any tempkey folders in between, in the list of files.

At the moment it seems like anything I try is not working.

Do you think this syspreped system is repairable?

I'm trying everything you suggest.

As for the tempkey.reg I didn't run it, I just put in the command lines.

reg load HKLM\tempkey d:\windows\system32\config\system
reg export HKLM\tempkey\setup tempkey.reg
reg unload HKLM\tempkey

All were successful.

I'll send a screen shot of what happens.

Thanks

thanks. D: is win7 and C: is win8. win7 partition has the actual boot files and bootmenu. Now I know how it's configured

In elevated command prompt:

Code:

 
reg load HKLM\tempkey d:\windows\system32\config\system
regedit

In regedit browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\tempkey do you see a subkey setup?
If so click on it. And post screenshot. Keep the regedit screen opened and don't do the unload command yet.

In win8 elevated command prompt

Code:

 
reg  load  HKLM\tempkey  d:\windows\system32\config\system
reg  export  HKLM\tempkey\setup  tempkey.reg
reg unload HKLM\tempkey

post tempkey.reg
when posted.....
del tempkey.reg

In that elevated command prompt you see c:\windows\system32 as prompt all the time? If so it's file c:\windows\system32\tempkey.reg
post it (attach it to post as file)

Post c:\windows\system32\tempkey.reg
Not d:\windows\system32\tempkey.reg

Hi Kaktussoft,

Ok, now this I understood and your instructions worked and presented me withthe regedit from D: drive (windows 7)

I exported the tempkey folder to the desktop thinking that I could sent it to you but it failed. I hope by exporting it just took a copy.

Anyway, here is a screen shot of what is in the tempkey folder.

Presumably the setup folder is the one you want? Or something in it?

Here is another scrn shot of the setup folder contents, with the right pane, showing files.
