    For that particular case it is a good idea. Maybe someone can come up with a way to do that.

    Send a PM to SIW2. He is an expert in finagle stuff like that.

    lastly, are there switches that you can add to the boot usb so it will automatically start to restore the image file that's on the drive?
    Yes. But why??? I assume you want at least a confirmation like "Do you really want to restore?"

    Hi

    Like I said I would like to make it as quick and dummy proof as possible. Yes one prompt are u sure u want to do this would be ok but I am looking for this to be as plug and play, quick and easy for a user that needs to restore the pc back to factory default as possible. Please if u know how let me know. Thanks.

    Thank you!!! I will try this. The directions say DVD but I hope it can work with a flash drive too? Thanks!

    The WinPE can go on a Fat32 stick, but the Macrium images themselves require NTFS.
    With latest Macrium Free I made a WinPE USB. It's a 32 GB FAT32 stick. Later I did an image and just saved to a folder on the stick. Macrium automatically wrote the image using max 4 GB files. Nothing to it.

    I can not get the box that I check unattended mode in diskrestore to pop up. is that because I do not have the paid version of Macrium installed and only the free version?

    Did you run diskrestrore.exe AFTER booting to winpe?
