Create recovery drive using copy contents option.2. Backup visible contents on that USB key drive elsewhere.3. Re-use the key / delete its contents.4. When needed, create recovery drive on the USB5. Copy back the recovery contents.6. Use the recovery USB with contents to restore W8.Think that would work?</blockquote>
