G75VW Recovery Partition

Hi All,

I am inquiring if there is any way to re-install the Windows 7 recovery partition on my HDD? I recently installed Windows 8 on my second HDD, after a few restarts, on a start up of Windows 7, it said my HDDs needed to be scanned for errors. Well I ended up letting it do the scan and fix but then my Windows 7 HDD wouldn't start. I tried a few things like windows repair but it said it couldn't fix he problem. Anyway I ended up formatting the Windows 7 partition which works fine now, but I noticed there is a recovery partition that is still on the Windows 7 drive which I cant access / use. I want to be able to create a new recovery partition that I can use from start up.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

yeah you could also try the method that BNaughty pointed out; it might be able to call out the recovery partition.

Hey guys,

I tried the things you suggested with no luck, I have given up on the recovery partition. I re-installed windows 7 off disc then installed windows 8 from disc and have both OS's working from a multiple boot option on startup. I've added a screenshot of my disk management page which shows I still have a health recovery partition but can not access it.
