Flash drive for system recovery from an image in 1 click?

Question

Windows

There is one netbook that needs to be given to a person who:
a) does not understand anything about computers
b) is far away
Accordingly, I need to make some kind of miracle flash drive (there is no drive), which, when booted from it, restores the system (Windows XP) preferably without asking questions at all. I'm not particularly Windows-specialized and I was able to come up with only an option with Acronis TrueImage, but it seems to be not at all in 1 click there. Well, my Unix brain immediately considered the option with Linux and there dd in rc.local, roughly speaking. The laptop does not have a native recovery system - Linux was originally there.
Can anyone suggest a quick solution?

Answer 1

Make acronis partition. recover via f11. It’s like a recovery system. But it’s not a flash drive. If you don’t have a netbook, you can upload hdd ... but who will install it ...

Answer 2

which, when booted from it, restores the system (Windows XP), preferably without asking questions at all.

that doesn't happen...

Answer 3

There is no 100% ready-made solution, but I would suggest that you look in the opposite direction. Those. use a PC as a thin client, and boot from a USB flash drive and a flooded set of programs.
For XP on flash in 32-64, you can completely fill the system and all software.

Answer 4

as an option, you can find a factory Windows image for system recovery on the network

Answer 5

Look towards PartitionSaving
It is enough to make an image, a file with recovery parameters (in fact, there are answers to questions), register the recovery command in autoexec - and it will be in 0 clicks, only boot from a USB flash drive.
But the solution is not particularly ready and fast. You need to format the flash drive, register the bootloader ...

Answer 6

Something like this
Not one click, of course, but it will do. The main thing is not to rub the bootloader.

Answer 7

I used Clonezilla for similar purposes . In two clicks it won’t work there, but if a person attaches a brief instruction to the flash drive, I think it will come out quite a suitable option.
upd: there is a Russian language in clonezilla, which is also undoubtedly a plus.
