    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)

    Lost recovery partition

    Hello, I see that you are having issues with recovery partition. I would suggest you using the diskpart command in the command prompt. First, open up the comand prompt as an administrator, then type in diskpart. Now, type in list disk, and look for the
    recovery partition drive. Follow the steps in the link below:

    Hope this helps, and let me know if you have further questions! Is there any free partition recovery software? :)

    Is there any free partition recovery software?

    Help on Partition 1TB HDD into GPT format

    Yeah, I noticed that. But this page (Configure UEFI/GPT-Based Hard Drive Partitions) says:
    Recovery image partition

    When used, this partition includes the Windows recovery image (install.wim).

    The size of this partition must include space for the Windows recovery image (at least 2 GB), plus enough free space so that the partition can be captured by backup utilities:

    • It must have at least 320 MB of free space.
    We recommend that it should have at least 1 GB free.​
    There's the confusion.

    And look here: Sample: Configure UEFI/GPT-Based Hard Drive Partitions by Using Windows PE and DiskPart
    This page shows a sample script to be used with DiskPart. And it doesn't provide the size for the recovery partition.

    I'm pretty much newbie in this field. So any explanation of those things would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
