Can't boot Blade Server into Windows Recovery Environment

-

hello, 

i'm creating disaster recovery plan, , i'm testing procedures perform bare metal recovery of hyper-v server 2012 r2 (the free one, not full windows server), node in cluster, , i'm using native windows server backup tool.

my environment follows: 04 hp blades - bl465c gen8 - running hyper-v server 2012 r2 (free), in 1 cluster, storing vms in 3par 7200 storage node.

the idea simulate complete failure of node, , bare metal restore of host, instead of manually reinstalling , configuring scratch. ran backup job on host, , have proper backup set restore. problem i'm unable start recovery environment restore host.

if try boot server either hyper-v server ou windows server installation media, on cd-rom, flash drive, external hard disk, pxe boot on wds server, whatever, can perform clean install, never shows errors, whatsoever. problem whenever click "repair computer", should launch recovery environment (winre), sits there, on blue screen, mouse cursor. 

if try start winre pressing f8 before os loads, or holding shift when clicking shutdown, or typing "reagentc /boottore", when server starts, shows progress bar "loading files" text, , stops in black screen mouse cursor, same thing procedure above.

i tried dozens of alternatives, using windows server 2012 r2, hyper-v server 2012 r2 , windows 8.1 medias boot winre, no avail. tried windows 7 pro sp1 media, , loads winre, did not recognized of hardware. supplied network drivers, and, expected, allows me reach part select network share backup located, throws error saying can't enumerate backups.

some other things i've tried:

- use windows kits tools create windows pe bootable flash drive, , replacing boot.wim winre.wim install media;

- use same tools inject drivers graphics, network, chipset, raid controller, knows?

after that, nothing worked.

the question here is, why on earth newer winre (windows 8 , up) not load, , 1 in windows 7 does?

and second question if has ever had same problem ans managed solve it. i've ran out of ideas.

i've read through lot of forums , comments, , things "i can set fresh server faster can recover backup", well, right now, want find out why winre not loading, question not using bare metal recovery.

thanks in advance.
