Can I make a bootmanager to recover factory reset on asus laptop?

[mystvearn]

The AI recovery does not recognise the partition where the recovery files are despite me being able to see it. I can't burn the files to make a backup dvd. I tried this on my U46SV but does not work:
AI Recovery Burner says "Partition does not exist"

Also tried the F9 key for HD boot but I do not see the Windows 7 [EMS] option. Everytime when I start W7, I get the pop-up telling me to make the restore DVD. When I open the software, I can't click start. There is no option for a DVD writer (the option is blank) for AI recovery ver 1.014. It also says it could not detect the partition though I can clearly see the partition in my computer. With AI recovery ver 1.013 I can select the DVD-writer, but the software still fails to see the recovery partition.

I'm now thinking of making a manual boot manager and try a factory reset with the HD partition. Is this possible? Can I make a boot manager with the files below? I can only find the bootmgr file but not the other files when looking at this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2676-bcdedit-how-use.html
How do I go about doing this? I've included a SS of the files in the recovery partition


I found this website: http://rmencia.wordpress.com/2010/0...very-dvds-with-windows-aik-part-1/#comment-85

with the same problem. In step no. 2: “Get the required files for the boot DVD (boot image with standard MS tools)
2. copype.cmd x86 d:\winpe_x86″
The WIn AIK says copye.cmd is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Does anyone know where am I going wrong?

Have you watched the vodeo on Asus U46SV A1 Recovery burner.
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Feature Videos U46SV

That one does not work. I've resorted to this way:
AI Recovery Burner says "Partition does not exist"

At the end of the vodeo, it is stated, if you have problems call Asus Support.
What did Asus Support have to say?

From the Asus forums and from searching online, Asus has poor customer support.
I learnt Windows AIK because of my new ASUS Laptop « Roberto Mencia's blog

I would call Asus support, & ask for a set of Recovery Disks, as the A1 Recovery app has a problem there should FREE.
You can Order Asus recovery disks from here:
ASUS eStore
At the search box, type in RECOVERY

Which partition in Disk Mgmt is System Active now?

Sometimes marking the Recovery partition Active will reboot into Factory Recovery.

Have your System Repair CD ready in case you need to boot into it to mark Win7 Active again using Diskpart: Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two)

The OP is not trying to do a reinstall,but trying to make Asus Recovery Disks.

OP may need to recover to Factory Condition to get back full functionality of Recovery Manager.

I'm now thinking of making a manual boot manager and try a factory reset with the HD partition. Is this possible?

It isn't necessary to create a boot manager entry until you try marking the Recov partition Active to see if it will run first.

If this fails then it's sometimes possible to boot Recovery using a boot disk like Hiren's with bootable EasyBCD on it, or configure a boot manager using EasyBCD from Windows.

Asus know they have a problem with the Recovery Partition & A1 Recovery app.

Asus AI Recovery Burner: Partition does not exist fix

I am very pleased to announce that I finally have the solution to this problem. I've had the same issue for months. I called Asus tech support and asked geeksquad at bestbuy. Both referred me to each other -_-...anyway you're ganna want to open the "AI Recovery" folder found in "program files x86" on you're harddrive. Mine was in the original (C) drive, I state this because I have/had 3 plus the one "Recovery (R)" drive from this issue. SO from program files x86, go to ASUS, then AI Recovery. Once in this folder scroll down to "ChangeHD" (type:application), its size is about 87kb. open/run the app. as an administrator. that should unmount/hide and put the partition files back to where they originally were. It doesn't take long at all, and once its finished you can run the AI Recovery burner normally as it should.

This issue frustrated me for quite some, so I had to post this since I couldn't find the solution anywhere else. I also made a tutorial on youtube ASUS AI Recovery burner fix: Partition does not exist - YouTube because I tired looking there too for answers.

I ended up downloading Win7 Pro and burning it on the disc and used the code underneath the laptop. So now I have a clean install W7 Pro.
