How to create a Recovery Partition in Microsoft Windows 10/11

Great video! One thing I would like to add is that after you recreated the new GPT recovery partition, Windows Disk Management may not recognize your recovery disk properly. To do this, type "gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001" before you leave the diskpart console.

Thank you for posting this video. It was extremely helpful to me. I upgraded SSD's in a RAID 10 array and encountered numerous problems in the cloning process. Restoring the recovery partition was one of them, and I was able to resolve it by following your instructions :-)

This was exactly what I was looking for. It gave me the info I needed to resolve my issue - a missing recovery partition due to not copying when cloning an ssd to a new bigger one. I discovered it some time later so did not want to redo the clone as I would have lost recent changes. I was able to copy the recovery files off the original drive and recreate the recovery partition. Very well done! Thanks so much for posting!

You made this tutorial very clear and plain thank you for your help

Thank You man - deleted my recovery partition by accident. After following your guide step by step I was able to re-establish it. Thank You again.

This was immensely helpful and it's weird how no other single guide online seems to cover this topic. I had the problem that I bought an NVMe SSD and made a clean Windows install but forgot to remove the old SSD as I did, so Windows did not create any EFI bootable partition nor a recovery one on the new SSD, since it was on the old one. And I did not want to go through the process of reinstalling Windows again as I had already moved a lot of my old data to the new drive since that meant I would have to reinstall all my games and so on again, when Windows was working fine but simply missing these partitions. So in my brain it would be far less effort and easier to simply find a way to recreate them than to do another clean install just for that. So thanks so much for making this simple and foolproof!

Thank you! The guide from another channel didn't work properly but your video resolved this for me. Informative and useful video, thanks!

Very helpful. You just saved me from all my headaches lately.

Love your vids man, If only someone made a video like yours years ago, would have saved me the trouble back then 😅 but I'm glad I found ya.

Excellent tutorial. Super-clear and just what I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Thank You !! Just the info I was looking for, well done and right to the point. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to create this video. Thank you kindly.

Thanks so much! This was the only thing that worked after I tried everything else! I copied over my system image from a 256Gb SSD to a 1TB SSD, and the recovery partition was in the way, so I could not extend the C: Drive, resulting in lack of space for system files when I installed new programs. Your solution is the only one that worked, thank you! For anyone wanting to know, I used Niubi partition manager to fix the above problem, only after I had done the steps outlined in this video. God bless

I would suggest in the future make sure the whole screen is viewable, there were times when I had no idea what you clicked on to get to a certain menu because it was offscreen.

Thanks for solving my issue i had zero recovery partition leading to not installing my software security updates.

This solution worked flawlessly and your explanation was very easy to follow. Thank you.

You're on point. Especially with hex id de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac for GPT. It drove me crazy when I cloned a 2TB disk onto a 4TB disk and while trying to realign the recovery partition to the last sectors of the 4TB HDD, the recovery partition got a new id and wouldn't show up as a recovery drive. I had to compare the id of the 4TB recovery partition with the old 2TB HDD and to my surprise, it had changed! Realigning the recovery partition on the new 4TB HDD to the last sectors was necessary to have a continuous ~4TB partition, otherwise, the new 4TB will only have 2TB usable space, with a ~2TB unallocated chunk after the recovery partition. I know there are software like AOMEI... that realign properly without you having to do it manually, I just like to do mine the old fashioned way using cmd and diskmgr.

I was going to expand my recovery partition and microsoft guide didn't help because it had an error, This helped me creating a new one after deleting the previous!

Thank you so much! This is exact solution for my issue with recovery partition

Thank you so much. Very easy to follow guide. Wish you all the best.

Nice, helpful, lifesaver, timesaver, and very educational with easy word and straight on... TY
