If you did not check the box to delete the WAIK it should have been installed to the C: drive in Program Files and can be reused.

Have a look in your C:\Program files (not Program files x86) whether the 'Windows AIK' is still there.
Once WAIK is downloaded you will be presented with this screen when creating a rescue pe disk.
Note: I am running a 64 bit OS
Down the bottom you will see the location of the default winpe.wim.
I am actually using a custom winpe.wim in an other location. The custom winpe.wim was made by moving the default to this other location and then I used the DISM command to add my USB3 drivers. So I update my custom winpe.wim.
What I don't know is what Macrium does to determine you have already downloaded WAIK and therefore have a winpe.wim. It may not need all of the WAIK but I want to keep it anyway.
Ok thankyou all I think Iv'e got it now. Was just trying to make sure I fully understood what was actually been updated. I presume the 1.7gig WAIK ISO is good for life and doesn't need to be replaced/updated then.
Thankyou all
You might better using the SP1 WAIK update.
The winpe.wim's in that have better support for afd.
Alternatively, use winre.wim off your own hard drive. No need for a large download - and you will have windows system recovery options included.
I am not sure why macrium doesn't check to see if you are running 7 - then use the winre.wim you already have . ( Those using macrium on XP will still have to d/l waik , of course).
I did a very simple app which does exactly that - and throws in a couple of other useful free apps. as well.
On a related note,
I was looking at a way of building a proper full scale pe using only what is already on your HD.
It works well for those who had sp1 pre installed.
Sadly, it doesn't work for those who got sp1 via windows update.
hi everyone, my name is kungfupanda from indonesia.... :beer:
I read the pageone tutorial.... saw both the video...., but there are some things im still not clear... :hammer:
If I would like to make a partition backup/recovery, e.g. recover C only, or D only, etc, how can i do that...?
how to do the backup, and how to do the recovery...?
also on macrium there are 2 options... clone this disk and image this disk... so... image this disk means... imaging the entire disk... is it...?
what does clone this disk means...? is it like cloning to different computer/hdd like acronis...?
again, thank you :beer:
Cloning is making an exact copy of a disk or partition on another disk. Imaging just creates a file that you can restore from. You would use cloning if you want to "copy" your system onto a new disk and use imaging for backup and restore.
may i ask how to do partition recovery (e.g. D recovery only or E recovery only) using macrium...?
i saw the video on page one... but i still don't understand...
