I have an HP Envy with a recovery partition. I did indeed create a dedicated USB drive that copied the recovery partition from the partition on the hard drive that shipped with the unit.
I wanted to create a restore registry type of system repair disk as you could in Windows 7. However even though I read that the option should appear in the Recovery Options that says: Create a Systems Repair Disk with a CD or DVD (see http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2855-system-repair-disc-create-windows-8-a.html), that option never appears.
While I do have Acronis as a backup I would like a quick bootable CD/DVD that offers a registry restore option. But perhaps that is what the recovery partition is for and when the time comes it will offer me that option, not sure (????).
Or may be there is a separate .iso I can downlaod and burn like I did for Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit
Thank you in advance
