How to Create 500MB Windows Recovery Partition on Windows 10 and Windows 11

 

I've already deleted the Recovery Partition for Demonstration Process. Here are the steps to Recreate the Formatted/Deleted Windows Recovery Partition

1.) Create a New Simple Volume on the Unallocated space

2.) Copy files from Windows Partition using the following commands in the Administrator Command prompt. Just in case if you don't know how to lauch an Administrator Command Prompt, Search cmd using Windows Start Menu Search Bar, Select Command Prompt from the list and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Click Yes and enter your Administrator Password if you have one! Execute these commands in the command prompt according to your Recovery Partition drive letter 

FOR UEFI & BIOS Firmwares:

mkdir E:\Recovery\WindowsRE

xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim E:\Recovery\WindowsRE

Note: If the WindowsRE folder is empty on the System32 folder and if you don't have the WinRE.wim file, you need to extract it from the Windows 10 or Windows 11 iso according to your Installed version of windows using 7zip. 

Use the commands again to copy it to the newly created recovery partition

Now, Register the WinRE Tools image :

Reagentc /setreimage /path E:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows

After this type "Reagentc /info" to check whether the previous command had registered successfully. If it doesn't try "Reagentc /enable" it will find and register the Recovery image automatically. If everything went well the result should be like this:

Now, Identifying the Recovery Partition and hiding the drive letter using diskpart :

For UEFI:

select disk 0 select partition 4 remove set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001 list volume

For BIOS:

select disk 0 select partition 3 set id=27 remove list volume exit 

 

If everything went well you should see partition like this:

Now Reboot and check for recovery options!
