run testdisk in winpe?

#1 Post by pikoslav »

- Made my own winPe with Windows ADK
- Put testdisk on it (tried all 3 version on the download website)
- I get black screen when i open it when in booted WinPE
Anybode got testdisk running in WinPE? I quite like it because it's small and CLI. I know that there are bootable ISOs with testdisk, but i would like to integrate it into my own bootable repair thingy

Boot different iso files instead. SystemRescueCD and Gparted are the smallest distributions that contain the TestDisk package.
