Need Some Help Here Please

[onlyrasel]

I Have a Asus K42F P6200 Notebook. Now I want to create a Hidden Recovery Partition that recover my OS like Other brands which run without any bootable/windows based software, and store my backup OS. Don't suggest me Accornis or Ghost plz. Its Urgent for me. Thanks in Advance.

I don't believe it is possible without modifying your systems BIOS.

We all know thats really risky.

You can search the forums for "create recovery" in threads titles, you'll find a whole page of them. One is last answered by Jaclaz with (surprise ) a ton of links to other threads as well.

You might notice that your own (this very) thread does not come in the results... so you should check forum rule 12 and edit your 1st post to help other members.

Note that you'll have to boot something in order to achieve what you want.

Sorry if I made any mistake. But i saw many notebook has this feature.

According to the manual you have a recovery partition. Press F9 during bootup. Can you post and screenshot of disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc) to confirm?

It would take a bit of work in order to update your recovery partition with a new snapshot. If it is a SoftThinks partition, you won't be able to do it without a license key. If you are lucky it will have a WinRE in there.

There was no recovery partition. I already checked. Thanks for ur reply.

TBH, using Acronis is probably going to be the easiest and quickest way to make a recovery partition. Anything else is going to involve quite a bit of testing and some programming ability.

I already said no Acornis or Ghost. Thanks for ur reply.

I followed -X- instruction but failed.

Well, since you didn't mention "no Terabyte apps", you may want to try their MBR utility:

or mbldr:

http://mbldr.sourceforge.net/

or any other MBR based bootmanagers to have the option to have a recovery partition.

I followed -X- instruction but failed.

"but failed" is not an accurate enough description of what happened (whatever it was).

The posted suggestion has 5 steps, WHICH one failed?

And HOW it failed?

On MSFN we commonly use the convention of putting a small hook sign "?" at the end of a sentence to show how that sentence is a question, for which an answer is expected.

Can you post and screenshot of disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc) to confirm?

Also, if you search for 'recovery' in either the Unattended XP or Vista forums you will find a bunch of topics about this already.

After a lot Search in web I found this Topic.

Thanks for your reply.
