@@ooplycrossing2744 I downloaded cracked version of adobe photoshop from unknown UA-cam channel (probably Russian) which they immediately deleted their video sometime after I got malware virus. You just have to avoid downloading cracked versions of apps, find reliable channels if you really wanna download them, but the safest way is to buy those apps from official websites.
Very good video, I solved my problem and I also found out that you can attach custom (bootable?) images to reagent. For example, I attached my MS-DaRT bootable image and now I have all the DaRT tools directly in the RE without having to boot from an external USB or DVD every time. I tested every functionality and it all works flawlessly, the integration is perfect. So people, if you have an ISO of MS-DaRT (you can make your own for free, there are plenty of videos explaining how), definitely replace the default RE with it. It's miles better and everything works fine. As I said, good video, too.
Thanks. You are the best of the best. I cannot believe how many times Microsoft has messed up my recovery partition. You have taught me more than I want to know about windows.
that was clear af, not only you shown how it should done that way, you explain why it has to be that way too! very great dude, love it all the way to the moon lol
To anyone who had a .ESD file instead of the one in the video in the sources folder INSTALL 7 ZIP i don't know how to mount it but IF YOU OPEN IT WITH 7 ZIP it will work, you can go, copy the file and enable Windows RE
thank you so much! i migrated my OS from hdd to my m.2 and lost of recovery partition and was freaking out i didnt want to lose anything and i was able to fix everything thanks to your videos! awesome explaination and help
You are amazing ❤ from the morning I saw so many videos but not single video help me but you are spot on you solve my problem thank you. Best wishes for you keep going 🎉
Thanks for useful explanation on how to fix this issue! Though for me on the last step the Winre.wim file didn`t move to the recovery partition and the issue still exists. Going to try to solve it other ways
Figured out the reason, needed to change path for reagent image using command reagentc /setreimage /path C:\windows\system32 ecovery after that using commands reagentc /enable reagentc /info worked exactly as in the video - winre.wim file disappeared from System32/Recovery folder and changed to new Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE Which basically means that it is now located in drive C:Recovery instead of being on a hidden partition
@@nik_evdokimov Thank you!!! I scrolled through all these comments knowing someone else had to be stuck at this step. Changing the path using the command you provided worked and I was finally able to enable it again!
You are truly great at understanding and solving windows related issues. I faced some problems after deleting my recovery partition and without your assistance, it would have taken me down the path of reinstallation. My only question is whether the index 1 that you used would have different recovery file relative to other indices (read other windows versions)? Thanks again for your help.
If you have used "reagentc /disable" as part of resizing the recovery partition, it "should" copy the winre.wim file off the recovery partition into c:\windows\system32 ecovery. If it doesn't, you need to provide the file as per the instructions but you may find that the ReAgent.xml file still points to the file being on the recovery partition so it will still fail. You may also need to give it a copy of ReAgent.xml that can be found in the same place.
This needs to be pinned to the top. Many guides are not mentioning this and it is happening to many people. Though it seems so simple to try, many are overlooking this simple added step of copying both files when RE Image is still not being found. You definitely helped me with this.
Excellent video. Helped my recreate a recovery partition and the WindowsRE file after deleting it whilst trying to extend the main partition in an Unraid VM

This solved my issue that my previous file is correpted or dont work for some reason but this method helped me to create the partition from scratch, Thank you so much
4:42 I dont have an install.wim I have install.esd instead. Looks like M$ changed to using .esd in later versions. ESD can be converted to WIM but takes an extra step (not mentioned here). You can use Dism itself to convert an ESD to a WIM /Export-image and then after that can follow the mount commands for /Mount-Wim - Doesn’t seem there is an equivalent /Mount-ESM command at least not in the version I have
Followed these instructions, when i go to do “reagentc /enable” it still tells me there is no recovery image, despite the Winre.wim file being in the system32/recovery folder.

Thank you very very much for this video . I had this problem nearly 6 mouths . All the other UA-cam videos are hard to understand . This video is the video I searched from those 6 mouths . Thanks . 🙏🙏🙏👌👍👍
Thank you for the very helpful instruction video. In my case (deleted and then recreated the recovery partition) i needed to add another step after I had copied the winre.wim file to actually "activate" the file. I had to use the following command reagentc /setreimage /path C:\Windows\System32\Recovery
I dont have the windows installation media but i created a bootable recovery drive and in the sources folder I have "Reconstruct.wim" of 3.9 GBs, "Reconstruct.wim2" 1.5 GBs and "boot.wim" 421 MBs , I tried mounting with the first option of wim of 3.9GBs and yet I didn't see any wim file in my temp. mount folder in C drive .
It doesnt work, the "Windows RE location" stays empty, and the status also stays as Disabled, the wim file dissapears aswell. And the boot config data, reccovert image index, and custom image index is just a bunch of 0's, and recovery image location and custom image index are both empty. running "reagentc /enable" also says that it was successful, but it doesnt do anything. And restarting doesnt do anything either.
A now i had a different problem with my pc that now requires me to use the winre.wim file, which it cant find, so now i literally cannot boot even the uefi. 😓
Hello, I installed a SSD and for some reason it created another recovery partition and now the original won't work. Edit: I have two recovery partitions on disk 0, "hard drive", one is part 1=450MB and the other is part 5=509MB. Which one do I choose?
When doing a reagentc /disable the Winre.wim is not mooved to c:\windows\system32 ecovery folder. I disappears from the recovery partition, but goes somewhere else. Where?
Thank you very much for this guide. It was a pain in the neck since my installation disk has the install file as an .ESD file rather than a .WIM file so had to look for another way to open that file but alas, i was successful. Thank you.
After converting, I was worried that I can't get reagentc because the conversion deleted my recovery partition. But I figured that since I was trying to install windows 11, and after installing it, I got my recovery partition back so it's all good.
Great video, helped me connect the pieces between fixing this quite annoying Windows issue. Any idea why the file disappears when running reagentc /enable again?
How to fix this error i did everything same as given in this video but i have facing this error Please help me Error: 87 The /wim-file option is not recognized in this context. For more information, refer to the help.

Hello, I installed a SSD and for some reason it created another recovery partition and now the original won't work. Edit: I have two recovery partitions on disk 0, "hard drive", one is part 1=450MB and the other is part 5=509MB. Which one do I choose?
I followed all the step.. still saying unable to update boot configuration data
my par 1 and 3 is primary and 2 is reserved idk what to do
When doing a reagentc /disable the Winre.wim is not mooved to c:\windows\system32
ecovery folder. I disappears from the recovery partition, but goes somewhere else. Where?
Thank you very much for this guide. It was a pain in the neck since my installation disk has the install file as an .ESD file rather than a .WIM file so had to look for another way to open that file but alas, i was successful. Thank you.
hi, I also have a .ESD file. how did you manage this? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
There is no install.wim file anymore,

After converting, I was worried that I can't get reagentc because the conversion deleted my recovery partition.
But I figured that since I was trying to install windows 11, and after installing it, I got my recovery partition back so it's all good.
Haha pc hobby noob here. Do u mean that I can just not care about this and when I finally install Windows 11 it will come back?
Great video, helped me connect the pieces between fixing this quite annoying Windows issue. Any idea why the file disappears when running reagentc /enable again?
Its moved to the recovery partition as was said?
