I am keen to create a 'toolkit' on USB Flash Drive to assist with PC boot problems, so I have built a bootable USB containing Windows RE (Vista/Win 7 version) and the PortableApps suite (together with a load of other stuff too). I have then copied the Windows boot sectors (Master Boot Record and Partition Boot Record) from the boot device (C: drive) to the USB drive using HDHacker.
All worked fine until I booted Windows RE from the USB Flash drive and launched PortableApps. HDHacker does not launch so I can't access the boot sector copies in this recovery environment.
Has anyone run PortableApps in such a way? Any idea how to get HDHacker working?
Many thanks

Windows PE does not contain WOW32/WOW64, meaning that if you're running a 64-bit version of it, it won't be able to run any of our apps (because even the apps which contain can run as 64-bit still use 32-bit launchers).

I'm only running the 32-bit version of Windows RE. Other portableapps work fine.
