I am stuck and i am hoping someone here can help.

i have a dell laptop with win 8 on it that it came win. the recovery partitions are intact etc. only thing not intact is the OS partition. the recovery of course fails because of the partition missing.

is there a command i can type in diskpart to recreate the partition and succesfully restore the os with the recovery built in?

Dell - Support

For partitioning.
I would look for a 3rd party Partitioning,Backup & Cloning software, which fully supports Windows 8, uEFI, GPT & Secure Boot.
Which is signed by Microsoft.
