    Can't take recovery from my system image, it shows to create a recovery disk.


    I created a recovery disk to get my initial state of system back after changing my SSD and installing windows afresh.Now I boot up into the system image recovery and select the image that I created as backup but in next steps the problem arises, it tells me that I should create a recovery drive in order to backup from system image.The problem is that my system doesn't have any DVD writer attached to it, so creating a recovery disk would be impossible for me.It's really frustrating I am loosing valuable time while figuring this out, which is delaying my work, please help me out with this proble

    :)

    How To: Create recovery partition.

    it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

    Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
    Name: Recovery
    Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
    and hit Add Entry
    I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
    At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)

    System Image Recovery/WIndows 10 Recovery Disk

    Awesome! Thank you for the quick response. I just have a quick follow up question. Will creating a bootable Windows OS recovery disk on the same external HDD as my System Image Recovery interfere at all with accessing the System Image while attempting to
    install it onto the new SSD? And is it even necessary to even use a Recovery Disc if I am recovering from a System Image?

    I just logged in to Microsoft.com and saw that my laptop is indeed listed under devices.

    System Image Recovery/WIndows 10 Recovery Disk

    Hey! I was wondering if it is necessary for me to create a Windows 10 Recovery Disk in addition to a System Image Recovery Drive. For some context, I am replacing my laptop's current HDD with a SSD I am installing. I have already created a System Image
    Recovery Drive onto an external HDD. I was curious if I need to additionally create a Windows 10 Recovery Disk in order to start up the SSD once I have installed it or if it would be redundant as that OS information should already be saved in the System Image
    Recovery
