Windows 10: Messed up recovery partition

Hello,
I was trying to create a recovery drive for my windows but it kept giving me an error. I checked reagent/info
in cmd and it turns out the windows recovery environment was disabled. I tried using the code Code: REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path c:\windows\system32\recovery[/quote] No luck, gave me:
Code: REAGENTC.EXE: No valid image found in the specified path.[/quote] I think the reason for this might be myself formatting that the recovery disk in disk management to NTFS form FAT32 because I wanted to create a disk image and it wouldn't let me as the recovery disk was in FAT32. Dumb move, I know and I had to deal with a boot error but I got through that somehow.
So can someone help me fix this mess up please?
Thanks in advance.

:)

 

How to delete and extend a partition in Windows 10.

But can you tell me how to do this? I want to delete all the recovery partitions, and all the unlettered primary partitions. The whole thing is a mess, and I haven't the slightest clue on how to clean it all up. Can you help me?

 

How do I create a Windows 10 Recovery Partition?

I see, so the recovery info is kept in the System Reserved (500MB) instead of a partition called "Recovery". So I take it that there wasn't any point in me following the instructions on YouTube and creating one?

I needed something like this for a customer's computer. They have a bad habit of messing up their Windows installs. I also wanted to be able to make a folder inside it to hold the video drivers and some additional software to be re-installed after a restore.
I also want to create a recovery image after he gets all his business software installed.

Should I create another partition for the image and hide it? I don't want it getting messed up. He has a habit of naming files with crazy long sentences and messing up the FAT.

 

I can't help with you with the recovery partition. I do recommend installing the free version of Macrium Reflect and making a image of your drive to a external drive.

 

Here's the link if you want to download it. Macrium Reflect Free

Don't forget to make a the Rescue Media. A image isn't any good if you can't use it.
