Hello All,
I see the thread on a similar matter is closed, but maybe my experience can still be compared to other systems with Win8.1.
► My experience on the matter of the lost Recovery Partition is as follows:
I work with Win8.1-Pro 32-bit and my grandson has Win8.1Pro 64-bit.
Since the last main update the Recovery partition disappeared on the 64-bit PC and not on the 32-bit PC!
► On both systems we cannot make a recovery USB-stick anymore!!! Windows is saying that »Data is missing to complete the making of the USB-stick«.
Luckily, we both have a recovery USB-stick made shortly after the installation.
Why is Microsoft doing such strange things while updating?
Maybe it is not meant to delete the Recovery Partition.
► Why is it not anymore possible to make a Recovery USB-stick on both systems? Luckily we have it made, but making a second one is out of the question.
What can we do to correct (1) the lost Recovery Partition and (2) the fact that making a Recovery USB-stick is not possible anymore?
Thanks beforehand if someone can follow these issues up.
Walter
