I created a recovery media usb and the recovery manager said that it was successful, but when it opened the flash drive I noticed that there were no files listed in the drive. I was wondering if this was normal, so you can't make illegal copies of the software, or if the media was not created successfully. The recovery manager won't let me try again because it has a record of a successful recovery drive creation.

 

I just don't want to be left with a blank recovery if I ever need to reset my computer. Thanks.
