A few questions
other that 32/64 bit incompatibility which should be a given, is it system specific, could I make a recovery drive on my HP and take it to a Lenovo product and expect it to work? I think not.

Also what about full disk encryption, if your drive is encrypted will it be able to deal with that? Again, I think not.

I am assuming that this makes a bootable USB drive or CD/DVD but that was not made clear in the article, did you test it?

Perhaps it might be a good test to use a Linux live CD/DVD to boot the pc and delete the files on the root rendering the Windows 8 PC unbootable and see if the recovery drive can save you.

Edit to add; Could this be used to boot a dead Windows 8 pc for data recovery?

Answers would be a good thing.
