ASUS recovery partition missing? How to recover deleted ASUS recovery partition or create a new one? Here this step-by-step tutorial on MiniTool Software is intended to show you the detailed steps.

Issue: ASUS Recovery Partition Is Lost

The Windows recovery partition is a special partition that is hidden by default. It does not have a drive letter and therefore does not show up in File Explorer.

There are two types of recovery partitions, including Windows recovery partitions and recovery partitions created by computer manufacturers, such as ASUS, Dell, etc. The former only contains the Windows pre-installation environment and usually only occupies a few hundred megabytes of disk space. The latter is pre-installed on the computer by the computer manufacturer and is used to store system recovery images and other pre-installed software, so it generally takes up more disk space than the Windows recovery partition.

Generally speaking, these two recovery partitions are designed to quickly restore the system to a normal operating state through system backup images when the computer fails. However, during computer use, the recovery partition may be deleted or formatted due to incorrect use of third-party disk management software or lost due to virus attacks and other reasons.

Now, you can read this post to learn how to recover deleted ASUS recovery partition or create a new one.
