Recovery Disk creation option not available

alvice99170 — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:15:21 GMT

Dear All,

I use a Vaio VPCEG28FN. I have used the system over the last 1 year without any glitch. Now I intend to create Recovery Disks for any eventuality, but the option to create Recovery Disks is no longer available under Recovery & Restore/ Vaio Care Ver 6.4. My system is fully updated with Windows/Vaio updates. But the option for creating Recovery Disks is just not appearing. Kindly assist in creating the Recovery Disks.

I have Win 7 Home premium 64 Bit installed on my system.

Thanks in advance.

Hi brucealvice,

Can you please check that the recovery partition on the hard drive is still present? Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management - At the start of Disk 0 you should see a Recovery Partition with no drive letter with an approximate size of 12 to 15GB.

Dear Rich,

Thanks for your reply and apologies for the delayed response. I missed out on your reply as didnt get any notifications from the Website about it. Anyway, I did check the presence of a recovery partition. It is available and is marked as Healthy (Recovery partition) by the system. But still no option to create a Recovery disk under Vaio Care.

Thanks.

Bruce
