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)

 

How To: Create recovery partition.

Troubleshooting Guide​

1. Q: So you have broken your boot loader and need to know how to boot into windows?

A: If you are reading this you are probably looking at a black screen with alot of white letters and a stop code saying a file is missing. Good news no need to panic.

• The issue is that easyBCD has probably deleted your boot loader or you were experimenting and F**d up.
• To get this back I'm going to assume you made the recovery partition exactly how it was done in movie
• To fix your PC restart the computer and enter your boot menu (usually F10-F12 depending on pc) select the physical harddrive the recovery partition is on.
• You should now start booting the windows 7 installer. when you arrive at the main menu in the bottom left hand corner click "repair your computer" It will automatically scan and attempt to fix your problem. It should auto detect that the boot drive location is wrong.
• Simply agree with the prompt and press "fix/restart" not cancel. At your next boot you should be happily at your desktop.
• Now open easyBCD and fix the menu so it looks like the videos, or try your experiment again.

Faqs​

• easyBCD (used for modifying the windows 7 and other windows OSs bootloader): Link
• camstudio (free open source desktop recorder): CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software
• This method can be used with any OS.
• easyBCD has a hard time loading some ISO images on some machines. You may need to change how the ISO is handled or try a different method. Linux Distributions suffer from this the most.

Note: I have broken my system on purpose in multiple ways at your expense to teach you how to repair issues that may arise.​
