I was looking through my recovery drive. I never modified any files, or at least I don't think I did. Clicking on "Recovery" just brings up the text saying not to modify the files. Clicking on "Program Files" leads to one folder called "Nox" but there are no files or folders inside Nox whatsoever. Does this mean I won't be able to recover my PC if something goes wrong or is this how it is supposed to be? If something is not right, could you please provide a solution on how to fix it? I appreciate it.hp 1.jpghp 2.jpghp 3.jpghp 4.jpg

I understand you're concerned -- but if you keep messing with the Recovery partition, you will corrupt it and that will prevent it from working.

 

Plus, there is no simple way to restore or recreate that partition.

 

So, you should basically leave it alone.

 

As to recovery, you should use the Recovery Manager to create recovery media -- if that works, the partition is intact.
