How often did i reinstalled Windows 8.1 by CD/DVD or USB-Stick and it really sucks to install all device-specific drivers and Windows-Updates.
The solution to this seems to create your own Windows-Installationmedium which includes all the crapy stuff. To get some input on how to do it, i've looked around the web and found some really useful articles. But as it is normal to the web you will never find an full article about the full features you are want to have.
So, in this article i try to create a summery over the different articles I found on the web. To get some kind of full-feature-solution.
Windows 8 integrates a feature to recreate/reinstall the windows-partition, here i try to explain how you create your own installtion-medium and configure windows to use it for the build-in recovery-mechanism.
To be correct, this are the sources where I found the most informations:
1. Create install wim

2. Prepare sysprep not to delete all drivers

3. Set install.wim as recovery-media
