    Hello,I want to install a clean version of windows but im confused about these Recovery partitions that exist from my SSDand some of them are mostly empty, Should I just leave them when installing windows or can I extend my main partition from the windows installer Also can I extend my system EFI partition? It only shows 100MB and it only has 2mb remaining I have created a 700M FAT32 partition but I don't know how to extend the main EFI partitionThanks!

    :)

    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:

    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)
