Great Tutorial. If the Recovery Partition is missing, then this is the BEST way to create it whether the Drive is MBR or GPT. If the Recovery Partition is there there is a much easier way to do it by just resizing (extending) the partition using the FREE version of MiniTool Partition Wizard. I have done this on both MBR & GPT disks and it works perfectly. Try it you will like it. :)

You're a legend. Read trough tons and tons of articles and came really close to re-installing windows but this video and your other video on recovery partitions really saved me. Excellent work, I love that you also explain the things so you actually learn something while repairing your system. Keep up the great work !

You are a rock star! With Windows Update KB5034439 causing havoc on Server 2022, you released this video at just the right time! WARNING: When creating your new recovery partition at 9:50, choose 'Do not assign a drive letter or drive path' in the Simple Volume Wizard. On one server, I allowed the partition to take F:, and now I can't assign that drive letter. Windows still ties it to the recovery partition even though it disappeared in the conversion.

Worked perfectly on windows 11 UEFI for me. I added a new SSD and reinstalled windows on that drive, was left with the recovery partitions on the old drive. I was able to create a recovery partition on the new drive to let me format the old. Every step worked, including the del par override, which helped delete the old recovery partitions from the old drive as well.

My HP laptop has a "recovery partition", but when I tried to initiate it by pressing F11 in HP, it gave an error screen stating something like "A required device could not be found" it also gave an option I believe F1 or F8 to go there, but when I pressed, noting happened. I had cloned/moved the OS (Win 11) to a larger drive, but in the process rearranged the partitions, so my Win 11 is at the end, not sandwiched in between several partitions as how it was originally. how to repair/correct/mitigate this, please?

For some reason after enabling reagentc and it stating it was successful, it is still disabled and there is nothing in the "Windows RE location:" field. The Recovery Partition is healthy, but the Winre.wim file remains in C:\Windows\System32\Recovery . I've attempted three times with the same result. I'm also making sure to follow UEFI mode instructions for a GPT partition, as required. I'm stuck.

I bought a new SSD to replace my old HDD. It was a Windows OEM version on that old HDD. After cloning, my computer couldn't enter into Windows. I had no choice but to buy an entirely new Windows 11 and installed it on my SSD. I tried twice this way to create a recovery partition on my SSD. The partition was set to that UEFI Type, but each time the winre.wim didn't go to that designated partition. What may went wrong?

I followed all the steps to create a new recovery partition. I then issued the "reagentc /enable" command, which was successful, but when I do "reagentc /info," the WinRE status is still "Disabled." When I type the "reagentc /enable" command, I now get "Unable to update Boot Configuration Data".... where BCD id = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 .... Windows RE location = (blank/empty) Winre.wim disappeared and is no longer in the Windows recovery subfolder, and the WinRE partition is still listed as Healthy (Recovery Partition) in Disk Management. When I check in Diskpart, the partition still has the correct GUID (de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac) and attribute (0X8000000000000001), as detailed in your video. What should I do to fix my problem? Help!
