So I've got a new toy, a laptop/tablet hybrid. It comes with a 32GB SSD in the tablet part, and an additional 500GB harddisk in the laptop base. It also comes with a 10GB recovery partition as is usual nowadays. Of course the smart people that designed the thing put the recovery partition onto the (tiny) SSD, not onto the large HDD, leaving me with a hefty ~14GB of available disk space in the tablet Is there any way of moving the recovery partition from the SSD to the HDD, so that Win8.1 recognises this so recovery and repair and such works? Best regards, Xir
You can just use the inbuilt create USB recovery drive option and put it on an external USB drive. Link Here I've successfully trashed and recovered a brand new surface pro 3 doing it It's pretty easy to do, but not the quickest recovery ever
Funny, it finds the internal 500gb drive as "external" Probably becaus it is, it may look like a laptop, but really is a tablet with a base. The base consists of a laptop-hinge, a keyboard, a second battery and said harddrive, so yeah, it is just an external drive. It would wipe it if i use it though, and all the original drivers and documentations are stored there.... Hmmm, maybe if I partition it?
