Great video! One thing I would like to add is that after you recreated the new GPT recovery partition, Windows Disk Management may not recognize your recovery disk properly. To do this, type "gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001" before you leave the diskpart console.
it says The selected partition is not a GPT partition. Please select a valid GPT partition and try again. idk what to do i tried a lot of things still ends up saying "The windows re image was not found"
@@chenmoney1920 But did you subsequently test the Windows recovery partition...by clicking "Shutdown" from the Windows login screen and then holding down the Shift key while selecting Restart...?
You're on point. Especially with hex id *de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac* for GPT. It drove me crazy when I cloned a 2TB disk onto a 4TB disk and while trying to realign the recovery partition to the last sectors of the 4TB HDD, the recovery partition got a new id and wouldn't show up as a recovery drive. I had to compare the id of the 4TB recovery partition with the old 2TB HDD and to my surprise, it had changed! Realigning the recovery partition on the new 4TB HDD to the last sectors was necessary to have a continuous ~4TB partition, otherwise, the new 4TB will only have 2TB usable space, with a ~2TB unallocated chunk after the recovery partition. I know there are software like AOMEI... that realign properly without you having to do it manually, I just like to do mine the old fashioned way using cmd and diskmgr.
This was exactly what I was looking for. It gave me the info I needed to resolve my issue - a missing recovery partition due to not copying when cloning an ssd to a new bigger one. I discovered it some time later so did not want to redo the clone as I would have lost recent changes. I was able to copy the recovery files off the original drive and recreate the recovery partition. Very well done! Thanks so much for posting!
This was immensely helpful and it's weird how no other single guide online seems to cover this topic. I had the problem that I bought an NVMe SSD and made a clean Windows install but forgot to remove the old SSD as I did, so Windows did not create any EFI bootable partition nor a recovery one on the new SSD, since it was on the old one. And I did not want to go through the process of reinstalling Windows again as I had already moved a lot of my old data to the new drive since that meant I would have to reinstall all my games and so on again, when Windows was working fine but simply missing these partitions. So in my brain it would be far less effort and easier to simply find a way to recreate them than to do another clean install just for that. So thanks so much for making this simple and foolproof!
I would suggest in the future make sure the whole screen is viewable, there were times when I had no idea what you clicked on to get to a certain menu because it was offscreen.
Thank you! You just saved my skin. It's 2024 and I was resizing my partitions for that Windows update issue and somewhere along the way a crucial step was omitted in creating MBR type partition and I couldn't see it in diskpart.exe. Your video showed me how to set it up in Disk Management tool. Thank you again. Subscribed.
Thank you for posting this video. It was extremely helpful to me. I upgraded SSD's in a RAID 10 array and encountered numerous problems in the cloning process. Restoring the recovery partition was one of them, and I was able to resolve it by following your instructions :-)
I copied everything this guy didn't & ended up in command prompt, choose an account to continue. Wow this video went for ever. Now it's telling me forget your password or don't see your account?👍🏿.
Exactly what I was looking for. I bought a 1TB ssd to replace my 500GB ssd. Used windows system image to recover windows to the new drive, but the recovery partition was blocking me from extending the volume.

@@helixform Thanks for your reply. So basically you've never used the Windows Recovery Environment. So therefore you don't know whether in a future emergency, that the recovery environment will actually be there to help you -- no?
@@nitram419 Ok, I see what you are asking. After I deleted the recovery partition, I extended the drive space to the full 1TB, then I created a new recovery partition after that, I haven't used it but it should be there if necessary.
Thank you, no one mentions that you can "set id=27" instead make us use "create partition primary id=27" even ms guide say to format disk after but doesn't specify that disk id will be changed
I was going to expand my recovery partition and microsoft guide didn't help because it had an error, This helped me creating a new one after deleting the previous!
A very helpful video and thanks to @Wari for the much needed gpt attributes comment (yes, there are 14 zeroes!). One further issue is that the recovery partition needs to immediately follow the C drive. I had my drive already split into two drives, C and D, and initially put it after the D drive but it doesn't work in that case.
Great Tutorial. If the Recovery Partition is missing, then this is the BEST way to create it whether the Drive is MBR or GPT. If the Recovery Partition is there there is a much easier way to do it by just resizing (extending) the partition using the FREE version of MiniTool Partition Wizard. I have done this on both MBR & GPT disks and it works perfectly. Try it you will like it. :)
Thanks so much! This was the only thing that worked after I tried everything else! I copied over my system image from a 256Gb SSD to a 1TB SSD, and the recovery partition was in the way, so I could not extend the C: Drive, resulting in lack of space for system files when I installed new programs. Your solution is the only one that worked, thank you! For anyone wanting to know, I used Niubi partition manager to fix the above problem, only after I had done the steps outlined in this video. God bless

Is there any way to disable reagentc on another drive? I’m trying to add a recovery partition to my drive that I cannot boot up on since I deleted it to add 1TB of unallocated space to the main C partition. I cannot access my recovery folder on the drive and therefore cannot see the “Winre.wim” file in ‘System32/Recovery’ folder.
To know what type of partition the OS is in. 1-Disk Manager. 2-Select where the OS is and right-click-Properties-Volumes and the type of partition appears there.
@@itarmy2778 Have you verified that the Windows Recovery Environment actually works, following your method of manual relocation? eg. Did you try SHIFT+RESTART and then see if your PC boots into WinRE?

Thank you so much I have been searching for this info and none of the methods I tried work, but this did thank you so much . all the steps for clearly explained
All worked well up to the end. I run reagentc /info and I see it is disabled. Then I run reagentc /enable and get "The Windows RE image was not found". What now?
Thank You !! Just the info I was looking for, well done and right to the point. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to create this video. Thank you kindly.
Good explanation. Too bad (after cloning to larger SSD) i get after "reagentc /enable" the operation failed: 3bc3 code. I see that what changed for you was the WinRE Folder. Can i just copy that knowing with the (cloned) WinRE image is, just like your path? Because the line below "Startconfiguration ID" (its a GPT SSD) might need to be adapted for the new SSD as well? Just no idea what value. Update: Fixed it with diskpart and setting "set id=c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b" on the fat32 EFI Boot Partion (meaning its a boot and not just a normal fat32). Funny, because the WinRE partion cared about the boot partition (and the pc already booted normally). Then the reagentc /enable worked perfectly! So strange how boot and WinRE interact!
It worked - even though I couldn't enable "reagentc". I looked under disk administrator or what it would be called in English (my computer is set to be Danish) and the Partition was called microsoft-something-that-sounded-smart - a name I hadn't given it so I guessed (knew) it worked. Also, I'm not a bot...
In my case, I went through the entire process, but instead of selecting partition 4, which I had just created, I inadvertently chose partition 3, the system partition. What can I do? I've repeated the whole process multiple times, yet the outcome remains unchanged
thank you so much, finally my error windows update gone. it says C:\windows\system32>reagentc /enable REAGENTC.EXE: The Windows RE image was not found. so i just copy the install.wim from usb bootbale windows and copy to C:\Windows\System32\Recovery
Hi. Video and comments are really great and have helped a lot of people. This tutorial is top class and your work is excellent. But unfortunately before I enabled the transfer to the special partition I used the command reagentc /setreimage path C:\Windows\system32\Recovery and now it stores it WinRe to C:\Recovery\WinRe and not the partition that I created. any clues on how I can reset the changes from /setreimage parameter? Or how I can change the Windows Re location for the target recovery partition because it reports that target partition has not been found. I also have a backup that contains the winRE but I can't find the WinREBCD id number of the recovery partition n order to change the html document that contains the data.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I had a computer that does not have the recovery partition or the Winre.wim file. Everything went well except this computer did not have the Winre.wim file. I looked up how to extract it from a Win10 ISO file. I did this and copied it to the system32/recovery folder. I made it hidden and then ran the reagentc /enable command. It said it completed sucessfully and the Winre.wim file disappeared from the system32/recovery folder. I rebooted and ran reagentc /info and it said "disabled". What did I do wrong? I tried to enable it again and it just says the RE image file is not found. Can you help?
Thanks for a great help video. My HP Elitebook laptop could not get into the Recovery mode using the F11 key option after I upgraded the M.2 drive to a larger one because it lost the link to that partition. Is it the same issue as this Recovery Partition with Windows 11?
The Recovery Partition is useless, not like it was before. Nine times out of ten you need a Recovery Drive which is only possible with a thumb drive in 10 as far as I know. Great video, thanks for the tip, I just think it should come with a disclaimer.
when I say exit diskpart and reagentc /enable in command promt to finish, it says "The Windows RE image was not found" what does this mean and how can I get it to work
In my case I have two recovery partitions and cannot enable reagentc, it says cannot update boot config. Also I cannot boot into safe mode. How do I delete them so I can follow your video?
Hi mate, just thought I might reach out. I had follow all your steps. A few things I would like to note to people that I have found. I was using this inside a VM installing server 2022. When you delete the recovery partition be sure to disable the reagentc in command before doing so as the file won't get put into the C:\WIndows\System32\Recovery folder. A question I do have though. I re-created the partition and follow all your steps however I have run into a little bit of a snag and noticed something at the end I go to control panel | Windows updates | Recovery and I am unable to select the option for advanced recovery or unable to use shift restart. Is there a reason for this. Please not am using windows server in a VM environment. Also forced it to go into recovery mode and many options were missing and it was unable to find the recovery drive. All information suggests that the recovery image was on the new partition. Love your video, but please assist. Thanks @wari that extra information was great and another issue I came in to
Hi i have a question i wanna reset my laptop, and i saw in setting it has the classic options to keep all ur files or to factory reset the laptop, my question is if i have this (healthy recovery partition) size 1GB in my disk menagement, which i do, will my laptop reinstall window and drivers it self? Or will i mess up everything and end up with my laptop in a boot mode screen? I used to have another laptop which had the option to do all this but at the same time that laptop had another partition lets call it disk D, which had all the drivers stored there, and i suppose they were there for the exact porpose to recover and reinstall them. Now on my current laptop i dont have this disk that contains all the drivers, and thats what scares me haha, i would love to factory reset my laptop but at the same time i dont wanna make a mess :(
Great video!

To do this, type "gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001" before you leave the diskpart console.

Why is id 27?
when I created the partition it said (basic data partition) and into the next step it said the re image was not found also im using a GTP Partition
Thanks for a great help video.
My HP Elitebook laptop could not get into the Recovery mode using the F11 key option after I upgraded the M.2 drive to a larger one because it lost the link to that partition. Is it the same issue as this Recovery Partition with Windows 11?
Thank you. Very detailed explanation
Glad it was helpful! thanks for sub!
The Recovery Partition is useless, not like it was before. Nine times out of ten you need a Recovery Drive which is only possible with a thumb drive in 10 as far as I know.
Great video, thanks for the tip, I just think it should come with a disclaimer.
Good point
Very Clear and Informative content. Thank You..

Glad I could help!
thanks for the help solved my problem
when I say exit diskpart and reagentc /enable in command promt to finish, it says "The Windows RE image was not found" what does this mean and how can I get it to work
HI, How can I increase the capacity I am getting error . Error 0x80070643 .Can no longer update anything. Thank you
great video, still working on it
In my case I have two recovery partitions and cannot enable reagentc, it says cannot update boot config. Also I cannot boot into safe mode. How do I delete them so I can follow your video?
very clear and biref!!
My man you are a blessing.
Thanks for watching
Hi mate, just thought I might reach out. I had follow all your steps. A few things I would like to note to people that I have found.
I was using this inside a VM installing server 2022. When you delete the recovery partition be sure to disable the reagentc in command before doing so as the file won't get put into the C:\WIndows\System32\Recovery folder.
A question I do have though. I re-created the partition and follow all your steps however I have run into a little bit of a snag and noticed something at the end
I go to control panel | Windows updates | Recovery and I am unable to select the option for advanced recovery or unable to use shift restart. Is there a reason for this. Please not am using windows server in a VM environment.
Also forced it to go into recovery mode and many options were missing and it was unable to find the recovery drive. All information suggests that the recovery image was on the new partition.
Love your video, but please assist.
Thanks @wari that extra information was great and another issue I came in to
Hi i have a question i wanna reset my laptop, and i saw in setting it has the classic options to keep all ur files or to factory reset the laptop, my question is if i have this (healthy recovery partition) size 1GB in my disk menagement, which i do, will my laptop reinstall window and drivers it self? Or will i mess up everything and end up with my laptop in a boot mode screen? I used to have another laptop which had the option to do all this but at the same time that laptop had another partition lets call it disk D, which had all the drivers stored there, and i suppose they were there for the exact porpose to recover and reinstall them. Now on my current laptop i dont have this disk that contains all the drivers, and thats what scares me haha, i would love to factory reset my laptop but at the same time i dont wanna make a mess :(
It's creating
helthy (bisic data patition)
why? it's not
healthy (primary patition)?
sadly, when i do the last step, which is "reagentc /enable", it says "The Windows RE image was not found." So what do i do now
