Revision as of 14:29, 4 May 2023

In diskmgmt.msc make a partition at the end of the disk and assign it a letter. This is where our Recovery Partition will move to. Here we are using N.
Using DISKPART
- list disk
- select disk <of recovery partition>
- select partition <of recovery partition>
- assign letter=O
In an elevated command prompt
- Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:C:\recovery-partition.wim /CaptureDir:O:\ /Name:"Recovery"
- Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:C:\recovery-partition.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:N:\
Register the location of the recovery tools
- reagentc /disable
- reagentc /setreimage /path N:\Recovery\WindowsRE
- reagentc /enable
Back in diskpart hide the recovery partition
- For UEFI:
  - select volume N
  - set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
  - gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
  - remove
- For BIOS
  - select volume N
  - set id=27
  - remove
Delete the old recovery partition
- list partition
- select partition <of old recovery partition>
- delete partition override
Reboot the computer
Verify recovery partition is working
- reagentc /info
