How can one save the recovery partition files and then create a bootable USB flash drive to Factory Reset a PC or a laptop at a later point when the recovery partition is no longer functional? I can make a set of recovery disks, but I'd rather have it on one USB flash drive. Thanks in advance for any advice (or youtube video?).
First you need to create a system recovery cd and then copy contents of that cd to USB.
Here's How: 1. Create Windows 7 System Recovery Disc. 2. Plugin your USB drive 3. Download ImgBurn and follow this guide How to Create a Windows ISO from a Disc Using ImgBurn 4. Download WinUSB Maker its a free utility that makes bootable USB That's it.

Better to do it this way then creating a recovery partition. If the hard drive dies...the recovery partition is gone too.

Thank you both for your kind replies. I most likely did not ask the question correctly.
What I'd like to do is create a bootable USB flash drive out of all the recovery partition files and delete the recovery partition. However, some laptops do NOT give that option; they only allow you to burn 3-5 recovery DVDs. Thank you VERY kindly for your responses. Regards, exitometro --
