Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Error0x80070643 . recovery partition enabled. Can someone advise about this?

I ran across a recent thread that proposed some fixes. I saw that the recovery partition in the command prompt is disk 1.I don't particularly know how to find this. I do have disk mini tool, and it shows different sectors. I do not know how to use that to increase the space of the recovery section. I am not sure if it will help.I also saw that recent updates took up about 6 gigabytes of space approximately.I saw that the download for that update is around 750 megabytes or something like that. Please advise. MS instructions give this article:KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your parti

Download Windows 10 TH/RS

For the convenience of not having to use the installation media for startup repairs. But you should be able to use your installation media to do whatever the recovery partition does(including startup repairs). AFAIK. I could be wrong about that though.

I'm not sure if I follow you there. But if you clean install Windows 10 there will be at least 3 partitions.

• (EFI System Partition)
• (Primary Partition)
• (Recovery/OEM Partition)

If you install from an OEM installation media there might(should?) be 4 partitions. Since there might(should?) be a Recovery partition and an OEM partition.

Hi JoshuaCaleb! My name is David. I am a user of Microsoft products like you, and it is a pleasure to greet you.

Indeed, the Microsoft link you've shared https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb502... is the method Microsoft suggests for resizing the WinRe partition, and it works without any issues.

Basically, what the steps do is disable WinRe, shrink the main partition by 250 MB, delete the WinRe partition, create a new WinRe partition with the available space, and finally enable WinRe for this partition.

What you should keep in mind in the steps from the link is to select the correct disk. Usually, the disk you should select is where Windows is installed, which you can verify using the Windows Disk Manager.

If you're using a tool like MiniTool, you can also use it to resize the partition. However, my recommendation is to follow the steps provided by Microsoft.

Let me know if the information has been helpful. Regards.

 

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)
