Hi, I wanted to format my computer, but the recovery disk has vanished. I attach printscreen from disk manager. Is there a way to recover the Recovery disk? Formatting doesnt work because of missing files.Clipboard01.jpg

Hi

If there has been any change in the partition layout the F11 Recovery Area will be nullified.

If it is there, and mine  was, I used CloneZilla to lift it off.

 

Otherwise....

If in doubt please ask.
