Re: What is the best way to create recovery CD



I posted the info about that possible solution [you will have to test it on your target first to make sure it's working] to the
thread above ("compressed ntldr"). Obviously, it is not going to work for Stefanie due to the limited size of the flash used. Maybe
Justin is more lucky and has enough storage space on his target to create and hold a temporary partition if the SDI approach is
taken :-)

Stefanie,
Since we are running out of ideas how to fix your issue. How about just sticking to the [x]copy thing?
I actually think robocopy, which is way better and truly unicode app, would be a better choice. I also recall there is a unicode
related issue with robocopy on XP when it writes the log of all file operations performed. I've heard it has been fixed in the
robocopy version shipped within Vista. You may want to check it out, although I am not sure that version will run on XP.
Another possible approach is to have certain files in localized images preserved with slightly modified names to only use ASCII
characters. You can always go back to original file names at run time with a self-cleaning script that is launched very first time
the image boots as runonce (or startup folder) item.

I find SDI will modify partition table which is not what I need.
Could you explain more about your copy tool?

Hmm, just copy it. First time, i used xcopy (with all that switches
for hidden files etc), but this will result in SHIFTED characters.
So then I cab'ed all files form my xpe-image (cabarc-tool from xp
support tools), and then I extracted them back to the original volume,
wich has to be formated before. That's it.

I'd like to know anyone use the way in msdn link to create recovery CD
with WinPE and SDI?

Yes, me too. But maybe KM has a solution for deploying an sdi-image
from a CD, but I cannot follow all the steps right now.

It really takes me a lot of time and without success.
Just a little upset.

Well, my problem is none unicode characters. My solution is ok for
unicode language. But it cannot handle cyrillic/russian characters.
Therefore I need a disk imaging tool like sdimgr.
