    So, in a nutshell, I deleted the winRE partition due to a mistake made by an independent adviser. However, I have realised what has happened and why he made that mistake.


    When windows updates come that update winRE too, it either update winRE in the partition immediately next to the C drive if it already contains winRE or is empty. However, as you can see in those screenshots, my winRE drive was located before the C drive. So windows put winRE in the empty manufacturer's recovery partition as it was next to C and empty. Then the old winRE partition was orphaned. However, our adviser didn't know that I had updated windows, so he naturally told me that it was safe to delete the partition. However, as t contained the new winRE, it got deleted as well.


    Basically, the drive that says WINRETOOLS is useless and the 11GB partition had the winRE.


    Now if any of you accidentally delete the winRE partition, what you can do is wait for the next windows update or rather the next version. If you are really impatient, you can sign up to the windows insider programme which will provide you with the next version immediately. Update windows and you will see that a new partition is created immediately after C. That is the new winRE partition.


    For more info read the following Microsoft articles.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-my...ry-environment-winre-to-troubleshoot-common-s


    Then I deleted the orphaned partition. It is no longer needed. Then I labelled the new partition WINRETOOLS.

    Now I have 2 new questions.

    1 What is this 128MB partition that is not shown in diskpart but is shown in Easeus Partition Master?

    2 The Z drive. Whenever I restart the computer it assumes the drive letter Z. I delete the letter. Next time I restart, it is back. Note that this doesn't happen when I shut down the PC. Also, the letter Z is shown in Easeus even when I delete it from diskpart.

    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:
