If anyone is wondering about the commands he's talking about at 5:21, they are "reagentc /disable" and "reagentc /enable" for disabling and re-enabling Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) respectively.
Ty for this because ya I did not catch it.
You, sir, are friggin brilliant. Your tutorial was straight forward and simple. THANK YOU!
Whilst updating extg 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD to larger NVMe M.2 my disk clone s/w was warning me that my MBR setting would be replicated on the new drive and there was a 2TB limitation. I needed to change extg drive to GPT before cloning (don't know why I didn't before, GPT is much to be preferred for stability). I was getting this error and was concerned. Your video was a much needed very clear and easy to follow instruction. I am very grateful.
Wow. You're the best 🙏 MS' own support here is useless, as always. So many thanks for this!
You are welcome
I love that I am following you along this string of all the errors I am coming across. THANK you for making these.
You are so welcome!
I thought I had to perform some extra steps if I get that error and was worrying about it. Thanks for clearing the doubt. It was enabled as soon as i rebooted.
This is perfect for me. I've struggled with trying to get my Win10 computer ready for Win11 and I finally found that changing from MBR to GPT was the problem. So when I made the change I had the exact error issue showed at the end of this video. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Thank you my friend, your video was so much easier to follow to get my PC up and running than other people's instructions.
Excellent. Helped solve the mbr2gpt conversion reagent.xml issue I had perfectly. Thank you.
You're welcome!
After watching 5 of your videos and each one getting me closer to my solution I finally got it all to work. Thanks for all of you hard work and willingness to help others. Truly appreciative
Glad to help
Legendary man, thank you for a straight forward, on point tutorial :)
Thanks Nathan!
Just perfect. While converting the disk this same error appeared and I thought something serious had happened, but everything worked correctly. Thanks!
after converting from mbr to gpt in disk management the system reserved partition is still there along with the UEFI (100mb). should i just leave the system reserved there??
Every Indain guy is the best guy to make tutorials, thnak you so much bro, it helped
Excellent. Thank you for this no-nonsense, well-crafted video!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this video! I spent so long searching Google for instructions and RUclips! Finally found your video which actually live shows the process of doing It In CMD step by step!
You've saved me so much grief.
I was doing exactly what you showed in your video before I found your video.. But I was doing the commands without a space before the /"command" 😂😂😂

It doesn't work for me, my local disk is disk 4, also if I try it with programs it tells me: invalid configure file or the system partition and boot are on different disks, I don't understand anything.
Very helpful, thank you.
For me the mbr2gpt conversion was successful but its not booting, it says "reboot and select proper boot device ... a key_"
Changed boot mode to UEFI.
Please help.

After converting it successfully, do I need to delete the previous disclosure partition that was made by the csm version?

Many thanks for your help. I thought I'd broken Windows when I saw the "Failed to update .." message. I'm now at peace!!
You are welcome!
Thanks. I got this same error at the convertion to UEFI, but had no need to disable and enable reagentc, since it was enabled after the restart.
Enjoy!
Could the message "Failed to update reagent.xml" be an indicator for future problems with REAGENTC ? I have taken my computer through a large set of drive and partition changes recently. It is a home-build that had an older motherboard and CPU, with all drives as MBR. I installed a new motherboard, CPU, and 2 NVME "drives". The goal is Windows 11 compatibility. After watching one of your videos, I used MBR2GPT on my Windows 10 disk soon after I got all the hardware reassembled. I moved and copied partitions to migrate from a multibooting MBR/Legacy environment to GPT/UEFI, and moved the boot and OS environment to one of NVME SSDs. Along the way I "broke" my Recovery Environment partition, probably with REAGENTC /enabled. I didn't know about REAGENTC.EXE or the WinRE.wim file. Possibly related: I had to create a new BCD to get all partitions working smoothly on one drive and drop an old multiboot. I used simple BCDEDIT commands from Internet research to direct the EFI System partition to the correct Windows Boot Manager and to (C:) Windows, so if something is needed there for the RE partition, I might have missed it. Regarding the "break", I found that I had a Recovery partition according to DISKPART, but Disk Management displayed it without the (Recovery Environment) designation, and Create a System Image no longer included it. I have recreated the Recovery Environment partition properly, as the next (DISKPART show its Type as Recovery, and Disk Management shows the designation (Healthy, Recovery Environment). When I couldn't find WinRE.wim anywhere, I obtained a copy from my Microsoft Surface Pro -which is also Windows 10 Pro. I copied that WinRE.wim file into the C:\WindowSystem32\Recovery folder. Problem is that the REAGENTC /ENABLE comma still reports the error "The Windows RE image was not found. Unlike your demo system, mine has files in addition to ReAgent.xml in the folder: $PBR_Diskpart.txt, $PBR_ResetConfig.xml, and ReAgent_Merged.xml1.
There files provide the manufacturer specific recovery options in the recovery environment. Better perform a fresh install next time.
@@itarmy2778Thank you for responding. I will abandom the WinRE.wim file that I copied from the Surface Pro; it is plausible that Microsoft did their own customization. The Windows 10 on the target system is Microsoft's retail version, not an OEM version. I have no idea why the additional files are in the folder at this point. I have access to another system on which I installed retail Windows 10 Pro to bare metal several years ago, so I think the WinRE.wim on that system should be identical to the one I lost. I wish I understood what role Reagent.xml plays, because I still suspect it. I read somewhere that one solution to the error message to the "Wiindows RE Image was not found." when the (correct) WinRE.wim is to "delete" reagent.xml (actually renaming it to something notable as a rollback option). Reagentc /enable would alledgedly not find it and create a new, suitable one. Your reccomendation to do a reinstallation of Windows may be wise, but if I were ready to do that, I wouldn't have used MBR2GPT in the first place.
You're welcome. Yes, get the winre.wim from retail Windows machine or Windows 10 iso.
It works! Thanks
Life saver.
i cannot enable it eve after changig to uefi mode
ur the best ty soooooo much
