    Hi Rodolpho,

    We want to know about the issue you're having with your recovery drive. Please answer the questions below:

    • Are you trying to reinstall Windows 8 or Windows 10?
    • If you already upgraded to Windows 10, were you able to create a new copy of the recovery drive?

    Reinstalling Windows (what drive)

    It may be possible to troubleshoot and fix the boot problems and operating system/registry problems.
    Sometimes access denied can be fixed.
    Sometimes missing dll files can be fixed.

    If you clean install, it can be performed in the shortest time however the files will be cleaned.
    If you boot rescue the files can be backed up to another drive.

    If you troubleshoot these are the initial steps.
    The next steps will be based on the results displayed from these commands.

    Perform the following steps:

    1) Find a flash drive that you can format: ( > or = 8 GB)
    2) Create a bootable Windows 10 iso (now Windows 10 build 1803)
    Download Windows 10
    3) Insert the bootable Windows 10 iso flash drive into any USB port
    4) Power on the computer and click the applicable keyboard key or modify the BIOS boot order so that the USB external HD is on top
    List of PC brands with their corresponding hot-keys
    5) It may take 5 - 10 minutes for the iso to load while viewing the Microsoft Windows icon
    6) Select the language, time, currency, and keyboard, or click next
    7) Click troubleshoot
    8) Click command prompt > Administrator: X:\Windows\System32.cmd.exe > X:\Sources>
    PLEASE USE A CAMERA OR SMART PHONE CAMERA TO TAKE PICTURES AND POST IMAGES OF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
    Type all of these commands.
    Comments are in parenthesis.

    9) bcdedit /enum
    10) bcdedit | find "osdevice"
    11) C:
    12) dir
    13) D:
    14) dir
    14) E:
    15) dir
    16) diskpart
    17) list disk
    18) list volume
    19) select disk 0
    20) detail disk
    21) list partition
    22) select partition 1
    23) detail partition
    24) select partition 2
    25) detail partition
    26) select partition 3
    27) detail partition
    28) select partition 4
    29) detail partition
    30) select disk 1
    31) detail disk
    32) list partition
    33) select disk 2
    34) detail disk
    35) list partition
    36) sfc /scannow /offbootdir=B:\ /offwindir=B:\windows
    (change the letters B to the drive letter displayed in steps #10)
    37) chkdsk /r B:
    (change the letter B to the partition drive letter seen in step #10)
    (This may take many hours and typically displays ETA.)
    38) (reboot as needed)
    39) (reopen command prompt > Administrator: X:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe > X:\Sources>
    40) bootrec /fixmbr
    41) bootrec /fixboot
    42) bootrec /scanos
    43) bootrec /rebuildbcd
    44) (reboot)
