Creating Recovery Partition in hard disk

[miles12]

I have an HP G200 PC with Windows Pro. The OS is not preinstalled so there is no recovery partition exists. I want to create recovery partition. How can I create a recovery partition in my PC?

Hi

First of all check with something like Paragon Partition Manager Free

that you don't have hidden areas.

Then create a Recovery Partition, about 6 -8 gig.

Expand the current/latest OS on there, make a HP_Drvrs and fill it with the appropriate drivers.

Copy and save to an External Device like a USB, for when the HDD fails.

Use a Boot manager like EasyBCD to add that partition as an option.

X:\>dir
 Volume in drive X is Recovery
Directory of X:\

OR something of your own creation.

If in doubt please ask.
