Note: Wildcards are not supported in this function. You must understand the
Predesktop Area environment before attempting any modifications.
Put files in the Predesktop Area directories
RRUTIL /p <path>
Update (add/replace) files in \preboot, \minint, or root of the PE partition either
virtual or type 12:
1.
Place all the files in a temp folder on drive c:\. Based on location in the temp
directory, the files will be copied into the PE partitions in the same locations.
For example, to add/replace a file.cmd file in \preboot\startup, the user would
place the file.cmd file in c:\tempdir\preboot\startup and then run the
command “RRUTIL /p c:\tempdir”.
2. Sample Command: RRUTIL /p c:\PDATemp contained in c:\PDATemp would
be a mirror image of the directory structure of \preboot, \minint, or root of
Predesktop Area. The files in the root of c:\PDATemp would put the files in the
root of the PE partition.
Delete files from the Predesktop Area directories
RRUTIL /d C:\temp\dellist.txt
Delete a file in the \preboot, \minint, or root of the Rescue and Recovery partition
either virtual or type-12:
1.
Delete the file(s) of \preboot. \minint, or root of the PE partition either virtual
or type 12 based on the contents of a text file.
2. Dellist.txt must contain a tree structure of the files to be deleted from the PDA.
3. Sample Command: RRUTIL /d <path> dellist.txt dellist.txt contents:
\preboot\startup\custom.cmd Sample file name only
\preboot\usrintfc\test.txt Sample file name only
Rename a file in the Predesktop Area
RRUTIL /r \<PDA-path>\oldfilename.ext newfilename.ext
Rename a file located in the Predesktop Area. This function only works on files in
the Predesktop Area. The path to the file to be renamed must be included without
the drive letter. The new name of the file should only include the name without
any path information.
Example:
RRUTIL –r \preboot\usrintfc\peaccessibmen.ini peaccessibmen.old
Test for Rescue and Recovery being installed
RRUTIL /bq
This command can be used in a batch file to help in automated processing. If the
Rescue and Recovery code is not installed on the system only, the functions that
access the Predesktop Area will be available.
Example:
RRUTIL –bq
Results in the environment variable %errorlevel% being set to -2, if Rescue and
Recovery is not installed on the system, or 0 if Rescue and Recovery is installed.
Type echo %errorlevel% to see the results of the command.
