Warning 1: You must know what the following commands do before you execute them. Check the link above and MS’s documentation for diskpart<\/a>, dism<\/a> and reagentc<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning 2: Check disk numbers, partition numbers and volume letters carefully before executing commands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Use diskpart<\/code> to find current recovery partition and assign a driver letter(eg. O<\/code>) to it:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    DISKPART> list disk\nDISKPART> select disk <the-number-of-disk-where-current-recovery-partition-locate>\nDISKPART> list partition\nDISKPART> select partition <the-number-of-current-recovery-partition>\nDISKPART> assign letter=O\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Create an image file from current recovery partition:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      Dism \/Capture-Image \/ImageFile:C:\\recovery-partition.wim \/CaptureDir:O:\\ \/Name:\"Recovery\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Apply the created image file to another partition(eg. N<\/code>) that will become the new recovery partition:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        Dism \/Apply-Image \/ImageFile:C:\\recovery-partition.wim \/Index:1 \/ApplyDir:N:\\\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Register the location of the recovery tools:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          reagentc \/disable\nreagentc \/setreimage \/path N:\\Recovery\\WindowsRE\nreagentc \/enable\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Use diskpart<\/code> to hide the recovery partition:
            • For UEFI:<\/li><\/ul>DISKPART> select volume N DISKPART> set id=\"de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac\" DISKPART> gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001 DISKPART> remove<\/code>
              • For BIOS:<\/li><\/ul>DISKPART> select volume N DISKPART> set id=27 DISKPART> remove<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Reboot the computer, now the new recovery partition should be working<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • (Optional) Delete the old recovery partition:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                DISKPART> select volume O\nDISKPART> delete partition override\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. (Optional) Check if the recovery partition is working:\n
                    \n
                  1. Show the current status: reagentc \/info<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Specifies that Windows RE starts automatically the next time the system starts: reagentc \/boottore<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Reboot the computer and do your stuff in Windows RE (eg. enter CMD and run some tools)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
