Problem creating a recovery drive with USB for Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

As an initial step, I suggest you to disconnect any external device connected to the system (except mouse and keyboard) and the reconnect only the external drive to be created as the recovery drive.

You may also try to disable any anti-virus program installed in the system and then try creating a recovery drive.

Disclaimer: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it
to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Thank you Antony, but my problem is not resolved.

 

Get this hard-drive to a business-oriented, seriously data recovery minded, well-recommended, computer geek, whether s/he comes over with the BagOfTools or you bring the drive to their business place - and explain exactly what happened to the hard-drive. This recovery partition attempt may [or may not] have formatted the entire hard-drive, making recovery very difficult at best.
It's possible that any attempt on your part, or even our part, might make things worse. Perhaps, such will make things better. I do not know 'cause rescue or repair disk-making usually means cleaning everything on the disk before creating said rescue/repair disk.
