Customers sometimes contact us to request the DETech (WinPE) Disaster Recovery media. License restrictions prevent us from distributing these media because they contain Windows components. Licensing requirements dictate that you must build these WinPE tools yourself from your licensed copy of Windows.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that customers do one of the following:

• Follow the steps in KB90673 - How to create WinPE image with DETech or DEOpalTech using the provided script.
  Or
• Contact Microsoft support for assistance in creating the WinPE recovery media.

For more information about creating a recovery media and to know more about the licensing requirements, see the appropriate DETech User Guide.



Recovery media details:

• DETech (Standalone)
  A disaster recovery tool that allows the administrator to perform normal recovery functions.


• DETech (WinPE)
  The DETech (WinPE) version performs the same functions as a Windows application. You can run the DETech Windows application from PE environments. It provides a Windows-like environment, which allows the administrator to recover data without having to fully decrypt the disk.
