If your Microsoft Windows<\/a> installation doesn't have the Recovery Partition configured. you can create a new Recovery Partition by following a specific procedure.<\/p>\n

When Windows is deployed, the installation wizard automatically\u00a0creates a Recovery Partition placed as last partition on the OS disk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-02\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create a new Recovery Partition<\/h2>\n

In this example, a Microsoft Windows Server 2022<\/a> has been configured.<\/p>\n

Open the Command Prompt<\/strong> as Administrator<\/strong> and run the diskpart<\/em> command to list the available disks:<\/p>\n

# diskpart<\/span>
\n# list disk<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-03\"<\/p>\n

Select the disk where the OS is installed (usually disk 0).<\/p>\n

# select disk 0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-04\"<\/p>\n

List the installed partitions.<\/p>\n

# list part<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-05\"<\/p>\n

In the displayed list, the Recovery<\/em> partition is missing. Select the last partition where usually is the OS partition.<\/p>\n

# select part 3<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-06\"<\/p>\n

Since the creation of the Recovery<\/em> partition requires some space<\/strong>, we need to shrink the selected partition<\/strong> by some GB (in the example 8 GB). Make sure you have enough free space<\/strong> in the OS partition.<\/p>\n

# shrink desired=8192<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-07\"<\/p>\n

Create a new partition.<\/p>\n

# create partition primary<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-08\"<\/p>\n

Format the new partition as NTFS<\/strong> with label Recovery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

# format quick fs=ntfs label=\"Recovery\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-09\"<\/p>\n

Mark the created partition as GPT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

# set id = \"de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-10\"<\/p>\n
Assign a letter to the new partition<\/strong> to copy the required files later.<\/p>\n
# assign letter=R<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-11\"<\/p>\n
Exit from diskpart.<\/p>\n
# exit<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-12\"<\/p>\n
Make sure the recovery environment is disabled.<\/p>\n
# reagentc \/disable<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-13\"<\/p>\n
Create a new directory in disk C:\\<\/strong> (DISM<\/em> in the example).<\/p>\n
# mkdir c:\\DISM<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-14\"<\/p>\n
Mount the Windows installation media and identify the install.wim file location<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-15\"<\/p>\n
Mount the install.wim<\/em>.<\/p>\n
# DISM \/Mount-image \/imagefile:D:\\sources\\install.wim \/Index:1 \/MountDir:C:\\dism \/readonly \/optimize<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-16\"<\/p>\n
Copy WinRe.wim<\/em> and ReAgent.xml<\/em> files to C:\\Windows\\System32\\Recovery<\/em> folder.<\/p>\n
# robocopy \/MIR \/XJ C:\\DISM\\Windows\\System32\\Recovery\\ C:\\Windows\\System32\\Recovery<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-17\"<\/p>\n
When the copy operation has been completed, unmount the image.<\/p>\n
# dism \/unmount-image \/mountdir:C:\\dism \/discard<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-18\"<\/p>\n
Now create a recovery directory in the created partition.<\/p>\n
# mkdir R:\\Recovery\\WindowsRE<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-19\"<\/p>\n
Copy the Winre.wim<\/em> file to the created folder.<\/p>\n
# xcopy \/h C:\\Windows\\System32\\Recovery\\Winre.wim R:\\Recovery\\WindowsRE<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-20\"<\/p>\n
Enable the recovery image.<\/p>\n
# reagentc \/setreimage \/path R:\\Recovery\\WindowsRE \/target C:\\Windows<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-21\"<\/p>\n
Enable the recovery environment.<\/p>\n
# reagentc \/enable<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-22\"<\/p>\n
Check if the recovery environment is configured to the correct partition.<\/p>\n
# reagentc \/info<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-23\"<\/p>\n
Open diskpart<\/em> and remove the letter previously assigned to the recovery partition.<\/p>\n
# diskpart
\n# list disk<\/span>
\n# select disk 0
\n# list part<\/span>
\n# select part 4<\/span>
\n# remove letter=R<\/span>
\n# exit<\/span><\/p>\n
\"windows-create-new-recovery-partition-24\"<\/p>\n
