Recovery partition gone?
I have an Asus EeePC netbook with W7 Home Premium(no system DVD).Wanted to shrink a partition on an external disc, but was not careful enough and started to shrink the netbook system partition instead. I realized my mistake almost immediately and cancelled the process, but the damage had already been done. First the netbook system would only start in safe mode, but I managed after a lot of effort (among other things returning the partition to its original size) to get it start and work normally. However, system recovery does not work now, when I try to start it (it is activated) it says the backup image disc is missing. I assume that the backup partition is gone. To make things even worse, a system partition clone I made on an external HD some time ago (and stupidly did not check for function) refuses to work, some files on the ext HD seem to be corrupt. So I´m in big trouble. Is there any way to restore the accidentally removed/damaged hidden recovery partition? Obviously, I can´t make a fresh install, first I have no W7 installation medium and secondly I got WORD2007 with the netbook, no inst. medium here either and a fresh install would wipe this soft out.
