    Ooops, I mistyped it. So, Windows RE disabled means that your recovery partition at partition #1 is not doing anything at all. A plethora of partitions :)

    You can try to enable it by running in a Command Prompt (Admin):
    reagentc /setreimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE
    reagentc /enable

    If you have the proper files in the recovery partition, that will enable it. If you don't, the recovery environment will remain disabled which means your recovery partition is serving no purpose at all.

    Speaking of Reagentc, wouldn't "Reagentc /disable" get rid of recovery partition ?

    A plethora of partitions

    It is virtually impossible to move the MSR partitition - you can delete it though - it is not essential.

    Assuming you do not wish to delete the MSR partition, then a good use of that 500 MB space is to delete existing partition, create new fat32 partition and copy all the files from a Macrium Rescue ISO to it, and create a boot entry for Macrium using Kyhi's great tool (need to unzip it):

    It does not delete the partition. It only keeps recovery from using it. You can just delete the recovery partition and reagentc will show the recovery environment as disabled without doing anything else.

    Aha, OK I get it. Once system stops using it, should be able to remove partition manually.

    UPDATE: So after I updated to 16184.1001, I did a reagentc/info and looks like the install took care of the recovery partition.
