how to extract and reuse recovery partition from dynamic hdd
I was trying to install ubuntu 19.10 as dual boot on my win7 pro system on hp prodesk 405g2pc. somehow i ended up changing the 1tb hdd to a dynamic drive. now it wont boot anything.
as 2nd drive on testing pc, win7 sees it as dynamic, but wont access it.
as 2nd drive on testing pc using ubuntu, ubie does see the drive and sees folders within.
I installed fresh copy of win 7 on a new 1tb hdd on my test pc, and booted ok, with ng hdd connected and also added in 500gb kesu usb drive.
i used easyus part master to copy the recovery partition frm ng hdd to kesu usb hdd.
my problem is, since this kesu copy wasnt made as image bkup, win7 system repair disk doesnt see the kesu partition, and so wont restore it,
So my question is this: having a fresh, booting win7 hdd, and the original hdd now a dynamic drive, and a copy of the original recovery partition on external usb hdd, how can i get the new win7 hdd to be like the original, before i screwed it up?
thanks for your consideration,
