Item Description
1 Automatic size of partitions
If automatic partition size is selected, the following partitions are
created depending on the target operating system:
For XP:
 Partition 1 (KUKA_DISK): drive C:\ = 15 GB
 Partition 2 (KUKA_DATA): drive D:\ = 5 GB
 Partition 3 (KUKA_RECOVERY): hidden partition with the re-
maining space
For WES7:
 Partition 1 (KUKA_DISK): drive C:\ contains 10/16 of the avail-
able space (hard drive size).
 Partition 2 (KUKA_DATA): drive D:\ contains 3/16 of the avail-
 Partition 3 (KUKA_RECOVERY): the hidden partition contains
3/16 of the available space (hard drive size).
If automatic partition size is not selected, the values must be en-
tered manually:
 Partition C:
In the example, 15360 MByte has been entered.
 Partition D:
Note: Partition C and partition D must be included. Otherwise, au-
tomatic partition size cannot be activated.
2 If Include partition C: is activated, drive C:\ is taken into account
when creating or restoring images.
3 If Include partition D: is activated, drive D:\ is taken into account
4 Copy image to hidden partition
The image files used for restoration can be saved in the 3rd parti-
tion.
Note: If this option is not set, later restoration from the hidden par-
tition is not possible.
Note: With older versions of the control software, it is possible
that the hidden partition of the hard drive will not become available
until the image has been restored once with KUKA.Recovery.
5 Check data storage medium before image creation
If this option is selected, an error check and debugging is carried
out for the individual partitions prior to image creation using
CHKDSK.exe /R.
6 Remove hibernate file
If this option is selected, the file hiberfil.sys on the robot control-
ler is deleted before an image is created.
Note: If this option is not selected, a check is carried out to see if
the robot controller for which an image is to be created has been
shut down in hibernate mode. If the robot controller was shut
down from hibernate mode, the robot controller must be termi-
nated in cold start mode before an image is created.

5 Operation
Item Description
7 Support only KUKA controllers
A configuration setting can be made here, allowing KUKA.Recov-
ery also to be operated using unknown hardware. If this is not
done, KUKA.Recovery can only be operated using known KUKA
hardware.
Note: If the check box is not activated and, for example, the
KUKA.RecoveryUSB stick is connected to a laptop, the entire
hard drive will be overwritten.
8 Time Zone
The time zone of the location where KUKA.Recovery is currently
in operation is configured here. This setting is essential for ensur-
ing that created images receive the correct time stamp. The
WinPE time zone is immediately set in the graphic operating
mode (robot controller user interface).
5.2.4 Creating an image of an external disk
Description The Create image of external disk button opens a window.

The USB drive for which an image is to be created must be selected here. The
location where the image file is to be saved and the file name must be speci-
fied.
Separate images are created in WIM format for partition C:\ and par-
tition D:\ and saved with the same name. The suffix C.WIM or D.WIM
is automatically added by KUKA.Recovery.
Precondition  Configuration of the partitions has been completed.

 Windows users require administrator privileges.
Procedure 1. In the menu, click on Create image of external disk.

2. Select a path and drive for saving the image.
3. Click on OK.
If partition C:/ and partition D:/ are selected individually in the config-
uration, the procedure must be performed twice since the image is
created individually for each partition.
Overview

5.2.5 Restoring an image to an external disk
Description The Restore image to external disk button opens a window.

The image file and the target drive on which it is to be installed are selected
here.
If KSS 8.3 is used, this function can only be performed

with 8.3.15 Build 109 or higher since the boot configura-
tion on the computer that is used would otherwise be modified.

 Windows users require administrator privileges.
Procedure 1. Click on the Restore image to external disk button. A window opens.

Item Description
1 Automatic size of partitions
If automatic partition size is selected, the following partitions are
created depending on the target operating system:
For XP:
 Partition 1 (KUKA_DISK): drive C:\ = 15 GB
 Partition 2 (KUKA_DATA): drive D:\ = 5 GB
 Partition 3 (KUKA_RECOVERY): hidden partition with the re-
maining space
For WES7:
 Partition 1 (KUKA_DISK): drive C:\ contains 10/16 of the avail-
 Partition 2 (KUKA_DATA): drive D:\ contains 3/16 of the avail-
 Partition 3 (KUKA_RECOVERY): the hidden partition contains
3/16 of the available space (hard drive size).
If automatic partition size is not selected, the values must be en-
tered manually:
 Partition C:
 Partition D:
Note: Partition C and partition D must be included. Otherwise, au-
tomatic partition size cannot be activated.
2 If Include partition C: is activated, partition C is taken into account

5 Operation
Item Description
3 If Include partition D: is activated, partition D is taken into
account when creating or restoring images.
4 Copy image to hidden partition
The image files used for restoration can be saved in the 3rd parti-
tion.
Note: If this option is not set, later restoration from the hidden par-
tition is not possible.
Note: With older versions of the control software, it is possible
that the hidden partition of the hard drive will not become available
until the image has been restored once with KUKA.Recovery.
5 Check data storage medium before image creation
If this option is selected, an error check and debugging is carried
out for the individual partitions prior to image creation using
CHKDSK.exe /R.
6 Remove hibernate file
If this option is selected, the file hiberfil.sys is deleted before an
image is created.
Note: If this option is not selected, a check is carried out to see if
the system of which an image is to be created has been shut
down in hibernate mode. If the system was shut down in hibernate
mode, the system must be terminated in cold start mode before
an image is created.
7 Support only KUKA controllers
A configuration setting can be made here, allowing KUKA.Recov-
ery also to be operated using unknown hardware. If this is not
done, KUKA.Recovery can only be operated using known KUKA
hardware.
Note: If the check box is not activated and, for example, the
KUKA.RecoveryUSB stick is connected to a laptop, the entire
hard drive will be overwritten.
8 Time Zone
The time zone of the location where KUKA.Recovery is currently
in operation is configured here. This setting is essential for ensur-
ing that created images receive the correct time stamp. The
WinPE time zone is immediately set in the graphic operating
mode (robot controller user interface).
