    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)

    Unable to create System Repair Disc with some files missing on Windows 10

    Hi Duncan,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about creating a repair disc on your computer. We will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

    • What is the complete error message of this issue?
    • How exactly are you trying to create System Repair Disc?

    Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run the SFC scan as System File Checker utility in Windows allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
    Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

    Refer: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files


    Step 2: I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft article about creating a recovery drive and check if it helps.

    Create a recovery drive

    For more information refer:

    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of this issue and with the required information. We will be happy to help you further.
