TBWinPE/RE Builder and MakeDisk UX
Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2025 3:27 pm
Every time I update the suite, I want to update the installed WinRE and also create a TBWinRE USB flash drive.
So obviously, I have to run "Modify the installed Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)."
But I always wonder (because my memory sucks): Do I also need to run TBWinPE/RE Builder a second time with "Create TBWinRE CD, USB Flash Drive (UFD), or ISO file" selected? Or can I simply run MakeDisk after updating the installed WinRE?
A big part of the problem is that if you just run MakeDisk, it gives no indication of what it’s about to write to the USB flash drive. This is a suggestion to improve the UX here -- it would be helpful to know exactly what source image MakeDisk is using.
