Hello, I recently got an Asus laptop with Windows 8. After installing a few things I thought I should make a recovery drive since the computer didn't come with one. I followed this guide and I had to create the recovery partition following what the guide said as I found that I did not have one. So I continued on after it was done creating it and went ahead to create the recovery drive. It said I needed to have atleast 16gb free on it, and thankfully I purchased one with 32gb so that was alright. Now I have been waiting for it to copy the recovery partition, and it just doesn't seem to be working. I left it on for 6 or so hours last night, and closed the laptop and went to bed without turning it off. This morning I let it run for 2 more hours, and it is just sitting right close to the end without making progress. Now I am curious if I did something wrong, or if I just need to let it sit longer. Any tips on this would be appreciated.
My second question is that I have purchased a 250gb ssd drive for my computer to help speed things up. My plan for this was to get everything ready with a recovery drive, and then switch out the drive the OS is on and switch it out for the ssd, then use the recovery drive to get windows back. Will this all workout this way, or is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks for reading, any advice is much appreciated.
