Make (and verify!) images periodically, create a USB rescue environment, and you have lost nothing without Windows Recovery. After all, should there be serious drive issues, the Recovery partition could be damaged. 2. If you do want to reinstall that partition, as others have mentioned, do a full install from ISO --and if that wipes the disk, then restore Windows from the image. | |

| Nov 26, 2023 at 20:54 | comment | added | harrymc | I suggest that using the computer when the disk is this screwed-up is asking for trouble. Better to take backup of your files, format the disk and reinstall Windows and apps. | |
| Nov 26, 2023 at 20:44 | comment | added | VJZ | Yeah I was just going to wing it but I was wondering if my installation ever got corrupted, what would happen? Should I not go into recovery mode? Because I am afraid recovery mode will overwrite my C: partition with its stuff which deletes all my stuff on C: drive. | |
