Accidentally Formatted Recovery D Drive

[Suffy]

Hello

Yesdterday I accidently formated my  recovery drive on my HP laptop. I plugged a USB drive into it and forgot it was MAC OS so was not seen by the PC.

How can I get a new image to put back on my 'D Drive'?

Many thanks for your help

Basically -- you can't!  At least, in terms of recreating the HP Recovery partition and leaving everything else intact.

You CAN use something known as HP Recovery Media to do a factory reset of your PC, and since that removes the ENTIRE drive and recreates the original partitions, it recreates the HP Recovery partition, as well.

But, you have to purchase that and, as indicated, it wipes out your entire drive in the process.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Looks as if I am left just backing up my device and hoping nothing goes wrong.

Once again many thanks for your help.
