Options to recover a RAW recovery partition or create a new one
While helping in another thread this computer had a recent Windows update of version 10 1909.
The OS build is now 18363.720.
Windows Recovery partition missing from Volume list of Disk Management
(the problem may have existed before the windows update)
When reagentc /info was ran it displayed disabled.
Reagentc /enable displayed The Windows RE image was not found.
The partition structure is MBR.
Partition 4 is the recovery partition and detail partition displayed RAW.
In another TF thread f14tomcat indicated that an in place upgrade repair recreates the recovery partition.
Way to re-create the Recovery Partition?
Minitool partition wizard has a partition recovery option.
Chkdsk /r /v has not yet been ran on the drive partitions.
What additional repair or recovery options are there for the recovery partition?
What are the advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls of each method?
If needed could the current partition be deleted and a new recovery partition be created from unallocated space with an in place upgrade repair?
