Restore Image Using a Dell Factory.wim file
|
hi, I have a dell with a worn off windows 7 code and a faulty harddrive, however I can access the recovery partition and have been able to copy factory.wim and factory2.wim to a usb drive, is it possible to copy them to a new harddrive using gimagex on hirens boot cd? I have seen Brians video on how to copy 1 factory wim but not sure how to do it with multiple .wim files. do you need to somehow merge them?
 hint hint video pleeeeeaaaase 
The problem you have is that your hard drive is bad or died. But on the good news is you have
There is a number of ways to do it, here's one, buy a new drive and install factory.wim and factory2.wim using imagex to install them two .wim files. You can use Hirens or Windows 7 Repair Disc
