Fix MyAsus in WinRE

• Ensure that BitLocker is turned off

• Download DiskGenius

• Ensure you have RECOVERY, RESTORE, MYASUS partition (if you don't have, try this)

  • RECOVERY partition should have Recovery/WindowsRE/ReAgent.xml

  • RESTORE partition should have Recovery/RecoveryImage/ASUS.swm

  • MYASUS partition should have AsusWinRE/AsusWinRE.idx

    

  • In some cases the name of partition might be different or multiple partitions exist in that case explore all partition through DiskGenius and look for the files mentioned above

• Assign proper label to following partitions (case sensitive)

  • To set label, in DiskGenius select the partition you want to rename right click --> set volume name --> type the proper name in the textbox --> hit ok

    

  • Set the label of C: drive to OS

  • Make sure the label of recovery, restore, myasus is correctly set to RECOVERY, RESTORE, MYASUS

  • Set the name of system partition to SYSTEM (sometimes has a blank label, this partition should contain EFI folder and is around 100MB in size)

  

• Link Windows Recovery Environment to RECOVERY partition

  • Search for command prompt and run it as administrator and execute the following commands:

    • diskpart

    • list disk

    • select disk # (probably disk 0)

    • list vol

    • select vol # (select the RECOVERY partition)

    • assign letter=x

    • exit

    

  • Next, navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\windows\system32\Recovery DELETE or RENAME the file ReAgent.xml

  • Go back to the elevated command prompt and execute the following commands:

    • reagentc /disable (just in case it's enabled with the wrong image, likely not)

    • reagentc /setreimage /path x:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows

    • reagentc /enable

    • diskpart

    • list disk

    • select disk # (probably disk 0)

    • list vol

    • select vol # (select the RECOVERY partition)

    • remove letter=x

    • exit

    

• Now go to WinRE (by holding shift and hitting restart) in troubleshoot there should be MyAsus in WinRE option!

Restore RECOVERY, RESTORE, MYASUS partitions

• For this to work we need to acquire donor backup images of MYASUS, RESTORE, RECOVERY partitions ideally from someone with the same device.

  • To create backup image ask the donor to follow this guide: How to Backup Partition to Image File

  • If no donor available and you have RESTORE partition intact you can try using this backup image. The file format, partition size and link are given below (EXPERIMENTAL NOT TESTED)

    • MYASUS partition [FAT32, 200MB]: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1utA8hrVOf7s10cC5dd0eqMBdIXuT9id6/view?usp=sharing

    • RECOVERY partition [NTFS, 700 MB] (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fb5E8ffKV2C-t8K5khG5SrvRO9xrmik5/view?usp=sharing

• Create partitions with same size and file format as the donor (ask donor for the size and file format of the partition) for me RESTORE partition is around 22GB (22*1024 MB)

• On the newly created partition restore the backup image: Restore Partition from Backup Image File
